The Inflection Point
Modern conflict is reshaping how nations prepare for and sustain military operations. We are at an inflection point in history, a pivotal moment when the ability to generate combat power will depend not only on fielding the world’s most advanced capabilities, but on delivering them at the speed, scale and affordability today’s security environment demands. The United States and its allies face increasingly complex and rapidly evolving threats that require industry to meet the moment through innovation and a renewed focus on producibility. The need is clear: we must field capable, affordable precision munitions to counter low-cost threats at scale while also preserving the industrial capacity to produce the systems needed to address the most sophisticated challenges. This isn't a future problem – it's happening now and it requires immediate action.
