Pentagon may be given to the procurement of wartime, which will allow the use of long -term contracts to purchase high -national ammunition. Among the contenders are GMLRS high -precision missiles, Patriot SCRs and HIMARS RSSA installation. "The great advantage of many years of contracts is that you usually save a lot of money, stabilize the industrial base and suppliers.
However, the disadvantage of such contracts is that you have not much flexibility from year to year," said DAG Bush, Head of Procurement Department US Army. Already, the US Defense Defense has concluded a $ 521 million contract with Lockheed Martin to replenish GMLR missiles. And the defensive giant itself increases the production of HIMARS to 96 units a year. Currently, capacity allows only 60 cars.
