America's unsurpassed military power today rests as much on the innovations and capabilities of private enterprise as on Pentagon white papers and presidential decrees. In the face of rapidly changing technologies and sudden geopolitical shifts, it is clear that the American way of war is changing-but how will the defense industry change with it?

What is the defense industry’s vision for the "transformation" of the U.S. military, and how will transformation in turn shape the future of the defense industry? How is the post-Cold War, post-9/11 security environment changing the relationship between the private sector and U.S. national security, and what are the implications for defense policy?

In the first of a series of Supply-Side Briefings on the future of the defense industry, a panel of scholars will consider these and other questions. This discussion will be immediately followed by a keynote address by Northrop Grumman CEO Ronald Sugar.
