Over 400 suppliers from the U.S. industrial base discussed their challenges and opportunities with regard to combat vehicle production in a virtual conference hosted by BAE Systems.
The event tackled opportunities that BAE’s combat vehicle supplier base can pursue with customers from the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, and was attended also by congressional representatives, the company said Friday.
Approximately 1,000 suppliers from 45 states compose BAE’s U.S. industrial base for combat vehicle production.
“The work being done by the folks that make up our defense industrial base is critical to our national security,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.
