Paradigms Under
Review
Modernization funding will pace
stockage of smart munitions
Organic base has value added in:
- sunk costs, QD, environmental permits
- replenishment capacity
- unique processes and backup capacity
• 80% of legacy systems will remain in
the inventory through 2025, impacting
retention of organic base capability
• CSA vision will change munitions mix
• Approximately 62% of funded
production requirements support
training
• If unfunded portion received - 75% of
production requirements will support
training.
