Sec. 102. Policy. The United States must have an industrial and technology
base capable of meeting national defense requirements, and capable of
contributing to the technological superiority of its defense equipment in
peacetime and in times of national emergency. The domestic industrial and
technological base is the foundation for national defense preparedness. The
authorities provided in the Act shall be used to strengthen this base and to
ensure it is capable of responding to all threats to the national security of
the United States.
Sec. 103. General Functions. Federal departments and agencies responsible for
defense acquisition (or for industrial resources needed to support defense
acquisition) shall:
(a) Identify requirements for the full spectrum of national security
emergencies, including military, industrial, and essential civilian demand;
(b) Assess continually the capability of the domestic industrial and
technological base to satisfy requirements in peacetime and times of national
emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of adequate industrial
resource and production sources, including subcontractors and suppliers,
materials, skilled labor, and professional and technical personnel;
(c) Be prepared, in the event of a potential threat to the security of the
United States, to take actions necessary to ensure the availability of
adequate industrial resources and production capability, including services
and critical technology for national defense requirements;
(d) Improve the efficiency and responsiveness, to defense requirements, of
the domestic industrial base; and
(e) Foster cooperation between the defense and commercial sectors for
research and development and for acquisition of materials, components, and
equipment to enhance industrial base efficiency and responsiveness.
Sec. 104. Implementation. (a) The National Security Council is the principal
forum for consideration and resolution of national security resource
preparedness policy.
