The Mitchell Institute’s newest podcast episode takes a closer look at the United States’ mounting munitions shortfall, with demand in ongoing global conflicts outpacing the nation’s current production capacity. As stockpiles are drawn down to sustain operations, the discussion underscores the need for sustained manufacturing output to ensure readiness and effectiveness in future engagements.

 

Through a detailed case study, the episode features Nick Bucci, vice president of defence systems and technologies at General Atomics EMS, who outlines how the company has partnered with Rafael to produce the Bullseye missile domestically. This collaboration is seen as a key step in expanding U.S. munitions production capacity while also introducing advanced capabilities tailored to the requirements of modern warfare.

 

By combining industrial cooperation with technological innovation, the initiative aims to close critical supply gaps and strengthen the U.S. defence industrial base. The conversation offers insight into how targeted partnerships can enhance both quantity and quality in munitions supply, providing an essential perspective for policymakers, industry leaders, and defence professionals.
