The anatomy of a missile and the manufacturing it demands

A tactical missile draws on 10+ distinct manufacturing processes across six major sections. Most prime contractors manage those processes across 12–20 separate suppliers. Walk through its anatomy and see where risk is likely to build during the replenishment surge.

Bigger production requires bigger thinking

Managing a scattered network of suppliers is challenging under normal circumstances. But doing so during a major production surge is next to impossible.

This unprecedented ramp requires a different supplier model: Orchestrating the majority of components through fewer suppliers with more comprehensive capabilities and services. That’s where Fathom can help.
