The Stingers are in low-rate production and are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2022\/04\/07\/us-army-initiates-plan-to-replace-stingers-with-next-gen-interceptor\/\">facing obsolescence<\/a>, though Hicks did not mention them by name or detail potential hurdles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn some specific munitions areas, we know we have some obsolescence issues,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cBut we have seen, very patriotically, members of industry lean forward and indicate their willingness to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hicks said the Biden administration is in a \u201ccontinuing dialogue\u201d with Ukrainian officials over the types of weapons it plans to send, and that presidential decisions on the matter are pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, we will continue to look at the type of capabilities that the Ukrainians are asking for in terms of how to give them more range and distance,\u201d Hicks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Ukraine is a priority, Hicks said, the process could reveal broader supply chain vulnerabilities that must be remedied, primarily to maintain supplies for the U.S. military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top U.S. defense officials will meet with the chief executives of the
