There’s been a marked increase in public discussion about U.S. #munitions #stocks and #production since operations against #Iran began — from reporting on accelerated consumption of precision weapons and air-defense interceptors to concerns about how quickly stocks can be replenished.
One thing our munitions research aims to contribute to that conversation is data and context rather than judgment.
Our analysis compiles procurement and foreign military sales data across 21 high-end munitions, anchored in PB25 J-Book figures, to make patterns visible — including timelines for ordering, delivery expectations, and how demand signals vary across systems. This isn’t a forecast; it’s a baseline that can inform discussions about capacity, consumption, and industrial response.
Two points from the data worth keeping in mind:
-- Procurement and production aren’t instantaneous. Many systems take more than two years from obligation to delivery, so what’s in the pipeline matters as much as what’s in stock.
-- Seeing the full picture means bringing disparate sources together — budget justification books, foreign military sales data, and open sources — into a repeatable framework that others can build on.
If you’re engaged in debates about readiness, industrial base resilience, or supply trends, I’d encourage you to explore the data and methodology here — and share what questions you’d like to see addressed as this baseline evolves. deloitte.com/us/en/insights…
