Faster munitions manufacturing ...

 The Pentagon wants US defense contractors to plan for dramatically faster production of critically depleted munitions, including Patriot and THAAD interceptors. As Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg stated, “years-long development cycles are not acceptable.” Each of the interceptors mentioned is an RF system, and so is the radio communication, the navigation platform, and the missile seeker inside it; and in development, production, and integration, RF faults can be where an aggressive schedule gets disrupted. A marginal hardware defect or a technician error on the bench can cost days before anyone even knows it. https://www.saelig.com/news/articles/cutting-rf-faults-r.pdf
