Additionally, the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, launchers could be a candidate for a multiyear contract, Bush noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat would be, for the Army, unusual, but this could be the circumstance where it\u2019s a good idea, but we\u2019re still working on that and anything we do would require specific congressional approval by both authorizers and appropriators,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bush said Congress has been open to the Pentagon presenting the idea and the data to justify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA great advantage of multiyear contracts is usually you save a lot of money, you stabilize the industrial base and you stabilize suppliers,\u201d Bush told reporters in a Nov. 21 briefing. \u201cThe downside of multiyears is you don\u2019t quite have as much flexibility year to year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Referring to his own experience as a staff member on the House Armed Services Committee, Bush said Congress has \u201cbeen supportive of multiyear approaches as long as the numbers add up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will have to prove that in each individual case here to where the value of doing the multiyears is demonstrable<b> <\/b>in terms of cost savings and production stability,\u201d he added. \u201cI think we can do that on not everything, but there are certainly a few programs, maybe three or four for the Army \u2026 where a multiyear approach could have great benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last month, the U.S. Army has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/11\/14\/army-awards-lockheed-500m-deal-to-replenish-rockets-stockpile\/\" target=\"_blank\">awarded Lockheed Martin a deal worth $521 million<\/a> to replenish U.S. stocks of GMLRS, which have been supplied to Ukraine to beat back Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed also received on Nov. 17 an Army contract worth $14.4 million to increase production capacity to rapidly replenish U.S. stocks of HIMARS after sending systems to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed is currently tooled to build 60 HIMARS launchers a year, but the contract, awarded in early October, will allow the company to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/10\/19\/pentagon-replacing-himars-launcher-and-rocket-stocks-sent-to-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">ramp production up to 96 launchers per year,<\/a> a company spokesperson told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has made factory infrastructure investments and will be able to scale production within the same factory footprint, the spokesperson added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, Ukraine announced its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/09\/28\/new-ukraine-aid-will-buy-18-himars-and-weapons-to-disrupt-drones\/\" target=\"_blank\">plan to buy 18 HIMARS<\/a>, in addition to the 20 systems the U.S. has sent to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed Martin also won a $179 million contract earlier this fall to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/06\/01\/us-will-send-himars-precision-rockets-to-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">replace HIMARS being sent to Ukraine<\/a>, along with an order of GMLRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, Bush <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/interviews\/2022\/10\/12\/how-covid-19-lessons-have-helped-the-army-send-weapons-to-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">told Defense News the Army is using multiple methods to accelerate contracts<\/a> that will replenish supplies heading to Ukraine. As of October, the U.S. military has made roughly $3.4 billion in Ukraine-related <a
