The House Armed Services Committee recently released the Chairman’s NDAA FY2027 markup, which supports the Pentagon’s request for nearly $90 billion for long-range missiles, air defence interceptors, precision-guided munitions and industrial baseline items.
The US Congress has been preparing a massive investment package to refill US reserves in FY2027, after the country depleted a large amount of its stocks in Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, with lawmakers signalling the need to prepare US Department of Defense (DoD) resources for potential high-end conflicts.
Released last week, the House Armed Services Committee’s (HASC) National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) markup supports the DoD proposal for investing US$90 billion in rebuilding stockpiles of core systems and acquiring close to 10,000 missiles and interceptors while expanding industrial capacity to produce them at scale.
