| 摘要： | Since their first major deployment in 1942, parachutes have been an important tool in the arsenal of the United States armed forces, enabling the delivery of troops and equipment to inaccessible locations with speed and often with surprise. Following the initial use of parachutes in World War II for large-scale troop deployments, the technology evolved rapidly to support a broad range of aerial delivery systems for cargo and other payloads. The technological and manufacturing base of the air delivery systems used by the armed forces is now many decades old and is well established. The U.S. military relies on these systems not only in times of conflict, but also for assisting in humanitarian relief operations around the globe. In recent years, however, the Department of Defense (DOD) has experienced some problems in timely delivery of parachute orders from industry and has been concerned about the ability of the U.S. Army to procure parachute systems quickly in a time of national need. A detailed assessment of the health and competitiveness of the industry, specifically addressing its ability to meet future DOD needs, was requested by the U.S. Army Soldier Biological and Chemical Command (SBCCOM), a subordinate unit of the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC). The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, was asked to conduct the assessment. |
