Economic Impact of Aerospace in Florida

Space / Aerospace Industry Trends

•Strategic Assets Depleted ... 20 Years of War.

•Decade Forecast of Stressed Federal Budgets

•Continued Industry Consolidations

•Continued Aging of the workforce

•International Technology Leveling

The Space Industry is Transitioning! … … … Private Sector Role Increasing!

•Global Space Industry Revenues from Commercial Sources, far exceed Government!

•Even without Sequestration, Federal Budgets for Space will be severely constrained.

•The Long-Standing Policy of Commercial Reliance in Government … … will Increase!

What Does Commercial Industry Mean? •Private Sector at Risk, with Investment and a Management Team / Plan to reach Market!

• Will Include both NewSpace and OldSpace Companies … … many New Entrants.

• Government … Increasingly a Secondary Market

•Commercial & Flexible Contracting Structures• CPFF Fixed Pricing/Fixed Schedule• More Commercial Off-the-Shelf
