It depends on location and what type of work is being performed, but there is enormous progress coming back,\u201d she said. \u201cObviously, for manufacturing, we need people on the line. So, we\u2019re doing things differently in terms of following CDC guidelines and so forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t know what that new normal will be on speed, but we see an enormous amount of recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lord acknowledged that the efforts to stabilize the defense industrial base would be ongoing, noting officials \u201ccontinue to see the greatest impacts both domestically and internationally in the aviation and shipbuilding supply chains.\u201d She added that advanced progress payments to companies has hit over $2 billion, and that all of the prime contractors have \u201cconfirmed their detailed plans to work with their supply chains to accelerate payments to identify distressed companies, and small businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department is still tracking a roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2020\/04\/20\/pentagon-bracing-for-three-month-slowdown-on-major-defense-equipment\/\" target=_blank>three-month period<\/a> of delays that could have repercussions on major defense programs, Lord said, although she declined to give any specific examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have seen inefficiencies across most programs,\u201d Lord said. \u201cDoD continues to partner with our industry partners to do everything possible to keep programs on schedule and to minimize the cost and schedule impacts. This is obviously a dynamic situation, and the overall impacts will not be completely known for a while as we work through how we operate over the next few months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only two major defense firms and 31 contractors remain shuttered due to the
