Question I have is what percentage of military programs are ITAR controlled and thereby more resistant to offshoring. Jeff said "most" are ITAR. Your Q3 Forum Report indicated over 20% of CM's used are in SE Asia and/or China already. We are seeing a major avionics OEM getting licences for their military cards to be mfg at a CM in Malaysia. The "non traditional military" CMs seem to be gaining a lot of market share in mil/aero over the past 5 years...Jabil, Celestica, Plexus etc. Expecting commercial avionics to continue to move overseas, but interested in any trend to offshoring in military.
