In the past, these multiyear authorities usually have been for the Defense Department to buy big-ticket, expensive items like ships and aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2022\/05\/02\/bidens-javelin-factory-tour-spotlights-struggle-to-backfill-ukraine-munitions\/\" target=\"_blank\">war in Ukraine has drawn sharp attention to the defense-industrial base\u2019s struggle to quickly replenish munitions<\/a>. The Pentagon hopes that multiyear purchases can help ameliorate this issue by sending a strong demand signal to industry that encourages companies to ramp up production and keep assembly lines hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s quite a bit of evidence that multiyear contracting provides certainty and stability to the industries, which allows them to invest capital investments to increase production to also be there for unanticipated emergencies like Ukraine,\u201d Senate Armed Services Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., told Defense News last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite criticism from Democrats, the defense spending panel Chairman Ken Calvert, R-Calif., did not shoot down multiyear munitions procurement and suggested Republicans may add it when the full Appropriations Committee considers the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ll take a look,\u201d Calvert told Defense News. \u201cThe bill\u2019s not over yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skeptical appropriators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiyear munitions procurement was one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/05\/24\/china-committee-wants-congress-to-establish-a-taiwan-weapons-stockpile\/\" target=\"_blank\">10 bipartisan recommendations the House\u2019s China-focused committee submitted to the chamber<\/a> in May. (The panel\u2019s official name is the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its chairman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/04\/27\/china-focused-panel-preps-proposals-to-rapidly-arm-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., told Defense News in an April interview <\/a>that he was lobbying appropriators to fund multiyear munitions purchases after his panel conducted tabletop wargames that found the U.S. would rapidly run out of munitions in a conflict with China over Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI understand why they usually resist multiyear authority and why they are skeptical about the way [the Defense Department] spends money,\u201d Gallagher said at the time. \u201cSometimes [the department] spends money in a stupid fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need about 1,000 to 1,200 [long-range anti-ship missiles] if you believe the unclassified wargames,\u201d Gallagher adding, noting the U.S. currently has less than 250 in its inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department hopes that multiyear contracts can fund a \u201clarge lot procurement pilot\u201d for munitions, including the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range, the Standard Missile-6 and the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside that program, the Pentagon also wants $250 million in multiyear buys for roughly 100 Naval Strike Missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/10\/17\/lawmakers-seek-emergency-powers-for-pentagons-ukraine-war-contracting\/\" target=\"_blank\">authorized multiyear buys for many of these munitions in the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act<\/a>. But congressional appropriators remained wary of multiyear munitions procurement and only funded a small fraction of that authorization. The FY23 spending bill allocated $687 million for the Army for two years to accelerate production \u201cof critical munitions to replace defense articles\u201d provided to Ukraine and its backers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., who sits on the upper chamber\u2019s defense spending panel, supports multiyear munitions purchases, but said her more skeptical colleagues on the subcommittee won out when they drafted the spending bill last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere were some concerns among appropriators \u2014 I was not one of them \u2014 about giving that authorization for more than a short period of time,\u201d Shaheen told Defense News in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top Republican appropriator in the Senate told Defense News that she is onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBased on my initial analysis, it strikes me as a good idea,\u201d Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Democrats are criticizing Republicans for not funding the Pentagon&#8217;s request for multiyear
