The Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) was launched by the Government on 15 December 2005 to implement MoD's Defence Industrial Policy. SBAC was directly involved in discussions with the Government and played a key role in ensuring that the views of industry were fully represented and taken into account. Implementation of the DIS has since been a core SBAC activity and Government is now beginning the process of defining a DIS 2.0 in which SBAC is closely engaged. MOD has issued an Industry Engagement Strategy for DIS v2.0. This includes a series of briefings for industry, details of which will be circulated to all SBAC members.
