Responding Now – Preparing for Future CBRN Threats

The Pentagon is committed to accelerating and adapting the traditional acquisition process to improve readiness and modernize the Joint Force and respond to our Nation’s defense. Anticipate in-depth discussions on evolving threats, requisite future capabilities and capacities for response and pandemic preparedness, acquisition reform, and the future of warfighter training and readiness.

- Advanced development and manufacturing needs.
- Promising research and development opportunities from our interagency partners.

The antitrust laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are together – both at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers, customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a particular supplier, customer or third party.
