Are U.S. supply chains capable of bearing the burden of expanded hypersonics production? How do supply chain vulnerabilities affect U.S. national security? What can be done to secure the critical supply chains of the future?
In this podcast, lead author Rebecca Wostenberg, ETI Research Fellow, provides an overview of the first report of ETI’s Emerging Technologies Supply Chain Study, Hypersonics Supply Chains: Securing the Path to the Future. The report assesses the state of hypersonics supply chains and provides policy recommendations – to both government and industry – for their development, health, and resilience. Key categories discussed are critical materials and goods, manufacturing base and workforce, supply chain security, and international partnerships.
