Join Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Bryan Clark for a discussion with Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) and Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) on the challenges facing the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry and legislative initiatives to address these problems, such as the Supplying Help to Infrastructure in Ports, Yard, and America’s Repair Docks (SHIPYARD) Act.
A functioning maritime industrial base is essential for the United States to out-compete with China. Unfortunately, the Biden administration’s proposed American Jobs Plan does not address the nation’s aging maritime industrial base, a critical component of our national security. The SHIPYARD Act’s $25 billion in proposed spending is arguably the bare minimum needed to get the most out of the nation’s investment in ships and submarines. What can Congress do to give this issue the prominence it deserves? Please join our expert panel for a discussion on today’s U.S. maritime industrial base and the changes needed to strengthen this key aspect of our defense capabilities.
Join Hudson Institute for a discussion of how the US can build a more resilient and flexible energetics base—one that can meet sustained demand while accelerating the development and fielding of new capabilities.
Join Hudson Institute for a conference with leaders from industry, government, academia, and defense to discuss the latest developments in the US-China AI competition.
Join House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (AL-03) for a fireside discussion with Senior Fellow Nadia Schadlow on Congress’s role in revitalizing America’s defense industrial base.
Hudson welcomes Karel Řehka, former chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces, to discuss the changing security environment in Europe and its implications for the Czech Republic, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the transatlantic alliance.
