A survey by Oliver Wyman reveals that the U.S. defense industrial base is unprepared to meet a $900 billion backlog caused by a historic production ramp, with shortfalls linked to resilience, financial stability, and technology adoption across the supply chain.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a bottleneck in delivering defence contracts as the U.S. supply chain cannot scale to meet massive backlog demands. Act now to identify fragile suppliers before lost capacity blocks your growth.
