Army Partners With Industry To Reduce Foreign Dependence
The US Army has partnered with Perpetua Resources Inc. and Idaho National Laboratory to open a prototype facility for processing antimony sulfide, a critical material for ammunition production. The move aims to establish a domestic supply chain for the material, previously sourced from China, and is part of the army’s broader ‘Ground-to-Round’ initiative. The effort seeks to reduce foreign supply chain vulnerabilities and enhance procurement resilience, as reported by Unknown Source.
