How can strong industrial partnerships help to enhance fleet readiness?

Militaries rely on a vast range of systems and equipment, some of which have been in service for decades.
Because the future is difficult to predict, sustainment strategies must be adaptable and mobile.
To deliver on these goals, militaries must build strong relationships with industry.
Such collaboration provides access to the intellectual property and technical data that is vital for effective sustainment, particularly for countries lacking abundant resources.
