and analyzes an annual survey of defense industry for personnel
security investigative requirements. This survey is critical to
assist DoD in planning and requesting sufficient appropriations to
ensure that industry personnel security clearance and investigative
needs are met. Failure to obtain sufficient and accurate
projections can adversely impact US military operations, US
government procurement and NISP cleared defense industry.
