Post by Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition & Sustainment

At the recent NATO Summit Defense Industry Forum in Ankara, Secretary Duffey joined leaders from Poland, Estonia, and Latvia to sign a Statement of Intent to aggregate industrial demand, taking concrete steps to fortify NATO’s eastern flank. Poland’s planned acquisition of Anduril Industries’ surface-launched Barracuda-500M cruise missiles highlights a shift in collective security. Our European allies are leaning into commercial innovation to scale our defense industrial base and guarantee unwavering deterrence against modern threats. #NATOSummit #ReestablishingDeterrence #PeaceThroughStrength
