Congress has moved billions into the munitions and missile industrial base, and the lead times have barely moved. The reason sits upstream of every factory being funded. Solid propellant is a dozen ingredients held in precise balance, and substituting one forces requalification of the propellant, then the motor, then often the missile itself—so the specialty chemical layer beneath the primes never scales.
