Missiles and the Math of Modern Warfare

The United States lacks the missile magazine depth required for a long conflict, particularly against a peer competitor such as China. The primary problem is that traditional American missiles are too costly to produce at the necessary scale. Industry leaders from companies like Mach Industries, Castelion, and Anduril are working to solve this by producing different kinds of missiles at a significantly lower cost. Their aim is to enable mass production to address this critical defense industrial base challenge.
