That chip shortage is affecting other weapons systems as well . Some people are not going to get new cars or trucks this year if the chip shortage doesn’t get sorted . Re-starting a production line that has been shut for six years will present unusual issues with Covid to make new missiles might be a challenge . Toshiba has a few fully automated factories that could do the work . I wonder if they would be allowed to bid on the contracts .
