As per one of the defence officials, “We will hold talks on industry proposals to drive production of existing systems as well as develop new, modernised capabilities critical to the department’s ongoing security help to Ukraine and long-term readiness of US and ally forces.”

Among the companies invited are Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, who together produce the lightweight Javelin anti-tank missile system.
