1 U.S. SPACE INDUSTRY DEEP DIVE A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE DOC AND THE USAF, NASA, AND NRO FINAL DATASET FINDINGS NDIA NSS Policy and Security Symposium June 26, 2013 Brad Botwin Director, Industrial Base Studies Office of Technology Evaluation

2 2 Office of Technology Evaluation Industry Assessments Background Under the Defense Production Act of 1950 and Executive Order 13603, ability to survey and assess: Economic health and competitiveness Defense capabilities and readiness Enable industry and government agencies to: Share data and collaborate in order to ensure a healthy and competitive industrial base Monitor trends and benchmark industry performance Raise awareness of diminishing manufacturing and technological capabilities

3 U.S. Space Industry Deep Dive Assessment Background Partnership with the U.S. Air Force, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Reconnaissance Office. The principle goal is to gain an understanding of the intricate supply chain network supporting the development, production, and sustainment of products and services across the defense, intelligence, civil, and commercial space sectors. Objectives: a) Map the space industrial base supply chain in unprecedented detail; b) Identify interdependencies between respondents, suppliers, customers, and USG agencies; c) Benchmark trends in business practices, competitiveness issues, financial health, etc. across many tiers of the industrial base; and d) Share data with USG stakeholders to better inform strategic planning, targeted outreach, and collaborative problem resolution. 3

22 22 BRINGING IT TOGETHER: Cross-Cutting Data for More Effective Analysis

23 23 Shared Government Risk NASA Respondents were determined to be financially high/severe risk.* USAF Navy 200 Sample of four USG agencies and their shared supplier risk. Cross-cutting relationships can be viewed by product or program. 69 NRO * Based on a series of financial risk measures, taking into account profitability, liquidity, leverage, and others.

24 Linking Respondent, Supplier, and Customer data allows creation of detailed supply chain maps for USG programs. Supply Chain Mapping: Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity Rover 24 Customer NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (at center) Approx. six tiers of the supply chain are represented

25 25 Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity Rover - Detailed View This level of detail in supply chain mapping can only be achieved with an underlying structure that threads sections together the Product and Service List. DOC is expanding the use of the data: Map multiple programs at once to uncover interdependencies Identify key nodes in the supply chain Add financial health metrics to the map View the maps geographically And more. Partner organizations can tailor these maps to their specific needs.

26 26 Supply Chain Mapping: USAF GPS III Satellite 462 entities in supply chain map. 43 respondents indicated potential loss of viability/solvency with a sudden decrease in USG demand. 12 respondents are financially high/severe risk. GPS III respondents support over 236 USG space programs. Most prominently: GOES-R (NOAA) AEHF (USAF) MUOS (U.S. Navy) SBIRS (USAF) Other GPS Systems
