I don't think the US is willing to risk the disruption to the military pipeline if they were to fail. You would literally have to have a "planned breakup" that would likely take a decade to dismantle. Bankruptcy isn't an option.
Could it EVENTUALLY be replaced by other companies? Sure. Would the US military be OK having their logistics on weapons disabled for 12+ months? Seems unlikely.
