The speakers for the next Air Force Association "Mitchell Hour"
will be Dr. Nayantara Hensel, Professor of Industry and Business at
the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and Fred Downey, Vice
President of National Security for the Aerospace Industries
Association.
Dr. Hensel previously was the Chief Economist for the U.S. Navy,

(Cost and Economics), where she provided economic guidance on
defense industrial base issues, growth projections, the federal
budget, the financial health of defense contractors, as well as
trends in the broader economy and in the defense sector. She has

base and the role of defense mergers in improving weapons systems
cost efficiency.
Downey is responsible for monitoring and analyzing national
security issues that affect the U.S. aerospace industry's ability
to support the Defense Department and to compete and cooperate in
the national and global marketplace. In addition, in his position
he coordinates the activities of the Association's National
Security and Technical Operations Councils and their associated
committees and working groups to develop industry consensus and
responses to these issues.
