My question was based on a new project DoD is undertaking and just released the prototype and I found out that outside the US there were companies located in at least 6 other countries who built something used in the prototype.

More importantly, the US is still the global center of innovation. While we may not turn out as many number-crunching engineers as Asian countries, we are very good at producing well rounded, creative people who push the boundaries of every endeavor. Other countries will continue to try and steal our technology, and sometimes they will succeed, but that's the nature of being in the lead.
