On today’s Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the defense and security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the new report he co-authored with his research associate Chris Park — “Last Rounds? Status of Key Munitions at the Iran War Ceasefire;” whether low US inventories will weaken deterrence and warfighting capacity especially in the Indo-Pacific; the Trump administration’s 2027 defense budget request; how long it will take to replenish depleted stocks of precision air defense as well as strike weapons; the kind of weapons America needs; and the role of allies and partners in increasing production capacity.
