Engineering Tricks to Cut Costs: Vertical Integration and Cheap Avionics

When it comes to missiles, America lacks the magazine depth for a long fight, especially against a peer competitor like China. A major part of the problem: Traditional U.S. missiles are simply too costly to produce at scale. Ryan sits down with three industry leaders working to change that.

Can they deliver?
