The statement did not provide a cost or specify the weapons systems from the four firms, but said the agreements established the terms for future firm-fixed-price production contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has long touted containerized weapons systems as a low-cost, mobile way to deploy missiles in standard shipping containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A separate agreement with defense startup Castelion lays out a plan to award a two-year contract for a minimum annual purchase of 500 Blackbeard missiles, which are Castelion\u2019s first hypersonic strike weapon, once Castelion achieves testing and validation, the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said the Pentagon was seeking authorizations and appropriations to purchase over 12,000 Blackbeard missiles over five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a

cargo aircraft. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Duffey, who as under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment is the Pentagon\u2019s chief weapons buyer, said in the statement that the agreements show how the U.S. is moving beyond traditional \u201cprime\u201d contractors to expand the industrial base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreements, he added, send \u201ca clear, long-term demand signal to innovative new entrants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emil Michael, under secretary of defense for research and engineering, said the agreements commit the firms to on-time, on-cost delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will deliver affordable mass for our warfighters at unprecedented speed,\u201d Michael said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The

from Congress for funding for munitions, which are in high demand with the ongoing war in Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
