Missile and Munitions Industrial Base Sustainment
Abstract
With a multi-decade decline in missile program development and procurement, design and production capabilities for critical components within the missile sector industrial base are at risk. This has a significant impact on current and future missile programs, limiting the readiness and availability of superior technology to U.S. Warfighters. The missile sector sustainment will exercise the design and production skills of this critical industrial base by improving existing production processes, exploring advanced materials for higher performance, and upgrading outdated technology for missile components. A missile sector Fragility and Criticality assessment has highlighted the need for specific action to preserve industrial base capabilities for fuzes and thermal batteries.
