A Proposal to Establish Coalition of Defense Industries

A strategic initiative to establish the Coalition of Defense Industries (CDI) is currently under review, aiming to unify key players in the defense sector and strengthen national defense capabilities. The proposal focuses on fostering collaboration between government agencies, private defense firms, and research institutions to drive innovation and reduce reliance on foreign defense imports.

The CDI aims to create a structured platform for technology-sharing, joint research, and policy development, ensuring that the local defense industry remains competitive and self-sufficient. Discussions are underway to define key areas of cooperation, including advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, and defense logistics.

Industry leaders and policymakers are optimistic about the coalition’s potential to enhance national security, streamline defense procurement, and promote local expertise. Further deliberations and stakeholder engagements will determine the final framework before its expected implementation.
