DIB

The Defense Industrial Base encompasses the companies, suppliers, and infrastructure that design, develop, manufacture, and maintain military systems and equipment for national defense. DIB includes prime contractors, subcontractors, and the broader supply chain supporting defense requirements.

DIB health is a national security concern, influencing policies on domestic production, supply chain security, and industrial capacity. Understanding DIB dynamics helps contractors position within the defense market ecosystem. DIB assessments inform government decisions on competition, consolidation, and production capability preservation.
