Newly emerging threats and the integration of advanced technologies like Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) are forming the backbone of the U.S. Defense industry’s rapid evolution. As defense priorities shift from traditional warfare to tech-enabled deterrence, missile defense systems are becoming more complex and multi-layered. With hypersonic and ballistic missiles, drone swarms, and cyber threats on the rise, U.S. defense contractors are leveraging AI, DEWs, and adaptive command systems to stay ahead of the curve.
