The defense industry's role in Equipping the Force could be better defined as… responsible for the design of systems meeting DoD performance parameters, performing developmental testing, manufacturing/producing the system, and (if called upon to do so) providing a significant level of logistic support. Thus, their role is to design, test, produce, and logistically support almost all our weapon and space systems. Far more than just 'support', or provide 'active cooperation'. In other words, U.S. Military superiority is significantly enhanced by the mutual and active cooperation between the private and public sectors.
