On today’s Land Warfare Series program, sponsored American Rheinmetall, Tim Cahill, the president of Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss accelerating and increasing production of top priority air defense weapons like the PAC-3 missile; how the company is working with the government to pare back unnecessary requirements and specifications or redesign and substitute components to speed or simply production; investing in the supply chain and navigating bottlenecks; pooling procurement of key materials across Lockheed Martin to benefit from better economies of purchasing scale; and what happens if projected spending on new weaponry fails to materialize. Our coverage of AUSA is sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
