"textContent": "The Pentagon's research labs are ramping up their search for munitions that can be mass-produced—an effort likely to be buoyed by billions of dollars in the department's new fiscal 2027 budget request and tens of billions in the upcoming years.\nWhile the topline information shared about the President’s defense budget didn’t disclose program details or dollar amounts, one note indicates it includes $350 billion “in additional mandatory resources for critical Administration priorities such as increasing access to critical munitions and further expansion of the defense industrial base.”\n\nThe post Pentagon Plans Major Boost in Spending and Research on Mass-Producing Munitions appeared first on Air & Space Forces Magazine.",
