At the meeting, companies 3611, 3603, 6443, 3523, the Research Institute, and the Military Products Department respectively made work reports on the military product work status from January to May, the R&D status of new military equipment, and the order situation.

Gong Guopingpointed out that all enterprises should attach importance to military product work.First,military product work should be raised to the political level, and military product business should be upgraded to “No. 1 business”. Ideologically, we must recognize that military product tasks are political tasks. We now need to enter into high-level competition in the military product industry, and we need to make great improvements in quality, delivery time, and coverage;Second,As our traditional advantage, military product business needs a fast recovery. The key to the recovery of military product business is the recovery of our capabilities, firstly the recovery of market capabilities and R&D capabilities. We need to form a process of exposing problems, solving problems, and learning from our strengths in competition, and we need to have a clear self-awareness process;Third,As the brand of a central enterprise, we must be able to handle tasks when they come. Based on resource inventory, we need to activate and share resources, improve teams, enjoy resources, enhance capabilities, and strengthen collaboration through resource sharing, and improve the four specialized systems of “R&D, sales, production, and service”. In military product work, we need to form a consensus: First, there should be a consensus on collaborative efforts in achieving performance and models, addressing long-term and short-term concerns, seeking common development, and improving the competitiveness of military product business; second, there should be a consensus on the enterprise’s “capability is key” and the military product department’s “bending down” is fundamental. We need to correctly understand our own capabilities and positioning; third, there should be a consensus on whether or not we can seize the “second wave of demand,” we need to grasp the strategic direction; fourth, there should be a consensus on “using projects as a link” to effectively solve the problem of insufficient ability to do things.All enterprises should abandon the original “single-handed combat” business model, raise their heads, clench their fists, and join forces with brother enterprises. Combining the “1+4” collaborative plan, each enterprise will contribute its strengths, make up for each other’s shortcomings, and improve the enterprise's overall strength in R&D, resources, sales, and production, and unleash the new vitality of old-brand state-owned military industrial enterprises.

Gong Guoping emphasized that each enterprise should clarify the “three gaps”: First, clarify the gap in the enterprise's annual budget; second, clarify the gap with competitors; third, clarify the gap between ourselves and customer needs. These gaps should be used as the direction of effort. We need to improve and perfect the post standard, process, and assessment system to provide guarantees for the development of the enterprise's military product business. At the same time, we must do a good job in military product work, not “mystify” military product work, and face the actual characteristics of government procurement in military product work. “Mystification” means closure and rigidity; do not “relationalize” military product business. We must clarify that military product business is fundamentally a technical job; do not “marginalize” military product business. The withdrawal of military product business by some enterprises is mostly due to the “marginalization” of military product business. We need to improve professional skills, grasp demand, and truly specialize.
