I don't think this explains it. As the original article said, The DOD offers manufacturers 15-year contracts to guarantee profitability and that still isn't enough to ramp up capacity fast enough, or even meet demand on a multi-year timeline. I think the problem may lie in a serious deficit of manufacturing capability / expertise in the US.
