Following the INF Treaty’s termination, the US is developing new conventional theater-range missile systems to counter adversary A2/AD strategies. Impact Assessment: The US is undertaking a comprehensive, multi-service approach to restore and enhance conventional long-range strike capabilities. L3Harris leads in space-based sensors, while multiple primes contribute to missile defense programs. By providing autonomous reconnaissance and strike capabilities, it reduces dependence on external assets and shortens the engagement cycle for proximate threats. Major powers invest heavily in next-generation strike capabilities, particularly hypersonic technologies, while protection systems evolve to counter increasingly sophisticated threats.
