Pentagon puts missile-defense production on ‘wartime footing’

The Pentagon has transitioned missile-defense production to a wartime footing to enhance national security. According to the Defense Department, new agreements have been established with two weapons manufacturers. These strategic partnerships are specifically designed to strengthen U.S. sea-based missile defense capabilities. By accelerating production cycles and leveraging industrial capacity, the United States aims to bolster its maritime defensive posture against evolving threats, ensuring that sea-based systems are robust and ready for immediate deployment in critical zones.
