For 50 years, the TechAmerica Foundation has presented a detailed forecast for Defense spending. It’s one source of information contractors use to plan their marketing and sales efforts. This year’s forecast team has shown one eternal truth. Pentagon budgets reflect more than just what military leaders say they need. They’re buffeted by the economy and politics too. Rick Ashooh leads TechAmerica’s DoD forecast team. He’s spoke with Tom Temin on the Federal Drive at this year’s Tech America Vision Conference.
