The Pentagon is facing some of its biggest spending reductions since the end of the Cold War as the Obama administration and Congress try to get a handle on the ballooning national debt and deficit.

The Defense Department is already facing some $450 billion in spending reductions over the next 10 years, according to its figures. Additional cuts could approach $600 billion under a sequestration measure now that the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or “super committee,” was unable to sign off on a blueprint by its Nov. 23 deadline to reduce federal spending across the board.

Defense Daily will host a webinar December 15, 2011 featuring a panel of experts and analysts who will discuss the repercussions of the spending reductions on the defense industry and investment in the defense sector. The webinar will come at a critical time as Congress will be approaching a final vote on the FY2012 budget, and as the Pentagon prepares to roll out its FY 2013 budget request.

The webinar will focus on the following:

- Which acquisition programs are likely to be cancelled for face funding reductions?

- Will a sufficient number of programs remain in place to keep the defense industry stable?

- In what area is the industrial base most vulnerable?

- Where are the smart investments and which ones should be avoided?

- Will the Pentagon adequately identify its spending priorities?
