National Security
AIA advocates for sustained, effective federal investments; accelerated deployment of innovative technologies; policies that enhance our global competitiveness; and efforts to build and sustain America’s world-class aerospace and defense workforce.
Policy Issues
Resilient Supply Chain
AIA is committed to identifying policy and funding solutions to close ongoing gaps and address fragility in the supply chain.
Efficient Acquisition
AIA seeks to identify and promote conditions in the defense acquisition system that foster timely and affordable innovations to meet the demands of the National Defense Strategy.
Innovation
DoD needs to establish an overarching strategy for intellectual property (IP) that ensures its workforce is asking for the right IP for the right reasons based on a program’s acquisition strategy and sustainment considerations.
Industrial Security
AIA brings together industrial security, compliance, and ethics executives from our member companies with government officials to develop and promote policies related to all aspects of physical industrial security, cyber and information security, and their relationship to the National Industrial Security Program (NISP).
Investment in Defense
Strong and stable funding ensures our industry can continue to attract and preserve a highly skilled workforce, align investments in R&D and production facilities, and secure sources of supply to support the modernization and readiness levels our troops need to meet global threats.
