U.S. Orders Major Ramp-Up of Tomahawk, AMRAAM and SM-Series Missiles as Stocks Deplete

The U.S. Defense Department and Raytheon signed multi-year framework agreements to boost annual production of Tomahawk cruise missiles, AMRAAMs, SM-6s and SM-3 interceptors, responding to heavy munitions use in recent crises and growing allied demand. While the increases are significant, analysts warn that even the expanded outputs leave high-end missile stockpiles relatively vulnerable and that rebuilding a resilient industrial base will be a long effort.
