The procurement model assigns a two-year target to first contract for major modular platforms, one year for spiral and modular upgrades, and three-month cycles for rapid commercial exploitation. Faster contracting could shorten the gap between policy and fielded equipment, though delivery still depends on future decisions. Its integrated-force concept connects multiple sensors and shooters so each service can contribute to the same operation. These targets remain another promise to gain more output from a small force unless contracts, quantities, and working systems follow.

Procurement cycle targets and the integrated-force promise
The 2025 review sets different contract targets for major platforms, modular upgrades, and rapid commercial purchases, then links them to an integrated sensor-and-shooter network.
