宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔7月15日电(路透社)——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普预计将于周三敦促顶级国防企业高管加快武器生产、扩大制造产能,因乌克兰与中东的战事已消耗美国战备库存,并暴露了该国工业基础的瓶颈。

特朗普将参加一场圆桌会议,为宾夕法尼亚州美国陆军战争学院由共和党参议员戴夫·麦科马克主持的为期两天的国防与创新峰会画上句号。此次活动汇聚了高级军事领导人、国防承包商、投资者与科技高管,共同讨论如何强化美国工业基础并加快先进武器系统的交付。

特朗普的此次亮相凸显了本届政府对国防生产的整体重视——长期冲突已消耗大量导弹、拦截弹与其他武器,同时暴露了美国军事供应链与生产能力的局限。特朗普预计将公布多项宾夕法尼亚州本地的国防投资计划。

参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军周二敦促国防企业加快生产与创新,称随着战争形态演变,美军需要行业合作伙伴帮助更快交付作战能力。

“我希望你们明白,虽然我说起来简单,但做起来很难,那就是:加快速度。请加快速度。大胆思考。”凯恩说道。

更广泛的工业战略

对特朗普而言,扩大国防制造业已成为重振美国工业产能的更广泛经济战略的一部分,五角大楼日益被视为工厂投资、先进制造业与国内供应链的催化剂。

6月下旬,特朗普在白宫会见弹药制造商,敦促该行业加快发展。

美国已向盟友供应大量武器,同时本国军事行动也在消耗弹药,引发了人们对关键防空与精确制导武器库存的担忧,并加大了承包商提高产量的压力。用于导弹及其他武器的火箭发动机需求激增,促使人们重新思考供应链问题。

为寻求高额回报,硅谷风格的初创企业如今正进军长期由传统国防企业主导的行业,受生产速度、高产量与低成本需求的推动加入竞争。传统固体火箭发动机制造商诺斯罗普·格鲁曼

表示,他们一直在推动自身研发,引入3D打印与新型混合技术等新技术。

负责五角大楼采购事务的迈克尔·达菲在峰会上表示,该部门正通过长期采购合同,让国防企业有信心投资数十亿美元扩建工厂,并援引约200亿美元的私人投资计划,用于提升爱国者导弹及其他高需求武器的生产。

“当前的全球环境要求我们以这样的规模、这样的速度、这样的产量进行生产。”他说道。

  • Contractors face pressure to expand factories and speed deliveries

CARLISLE, Pennsylvania, July 15 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump is expected to urge top defense executives on ​Wednesday to accelerate weapons production and expand manufacturing capacity as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East ‌strain U.S. stockpiles and expose bottlenecks in the nation’s industrial base.

Trump is scheduled to participate in a roundtable discussion capping a two-day Defense and Innovation Summit hosted by Republican Senator Dave McCormick at the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania. The event gathers senior military leaders, defense ​contractors, investors and technology executives to discuss strengthening the U.S. industrial base and speeding the delivery of advanced ​weapons systems.

Trump’s appearance underscores a broader focus by the administration on defense production as prolonged conflicts ⁠have consumed large quantities of missiles, interceptors and other weapons, while highlighting the limits of the U.S. military supply chain ​and production capacity. Trump is expected to make several Pennsylvania-based defense investment announcements.

Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Caine urged ​defense companies on Tuesday to accelerate production and innovation, saying the military needs industry partners to help deliver capabilities faster as warfare evolves.

“What I need you to know, and I know this is simple for me to say, but hard to do, is to go faster. Please ​go faster. Think bolder,” Caine said.

BROADER INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY

For Trump, expanding defense manufacturing has become part of a wider economic strategy ​to revive U.S. industrial capacity, with the Pentagon increasingly viewed as a catalyst for factory investment, advanced manufacturing and domestic supply chains.

In late ‌June, ⁠Trump met with munitions makers at the White House to urge the industry to move faster.

The United States has supplied large quantities of weapons to allies while also using munitions in its own military operations, raising concerns about inventories of key air-defense and precision-guided weapons and increasing pressure on contractors to boost output. Soaring demand for rocket motors used to power missiles and ​other weapons has spurred new ​thinking about supply chains.

Seeking big ⁠returns, Silicon Valley-style startups are now taking on defense companies that have long dominated the industry, pulled into the competition by a need for production speed, high volume and lower costs. ​Legacy solid rocket motor makers Northrop Grumman

say they have been pushing ​their own research ⁠and development to pull in new technologies like 3D printing and new mixing technologies.

Michael Duffey, who oversees buying for the Pentagon, told the summit audience that the department is using long-term procurement contracts to give defense companies the confidence to invest billions of dollars ⁠in ​expanding factories, citing roughly $20 billion in private investment tied to plans to boost ​production of Patriot missiles and other high-demand weapons.

“The global environment now demands that we produce at this scale, at this speed, at this volume,” he ​said.
