Building more missile defense capability means rebuilding the industrial base behind it
from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton
A new production center in Alabama reflects a larger effort to expand U.S. munitions capacity, but the real story runs through suppliers, hiring and how quickly that system can respond to demand. As the Pentagon looks for more surge capability, industry is working through the constraints that shape what’s possible. Tim Cahill, President of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, is here to discuss what that means on the ground.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
