or become the missile producer for other people. Also I suspect a missile production facility, can be easily adapted to make more than one type of missile. Have the facility make the missiles/rockets for our subs, RCD's and any MRLS we acquire. making sure we don't use any ITAR tech either.

Something similar to the Naval Strike Missile...launched from ships and land-based systems plus the air-launched Joint Strike Missile is a variant of the NSM as well.

Also I've suggested previously that in addition to our own domestic requirements and any foreign sales we are able to get we could build up a NATO war stock for distribution to our allies in case of war and count it toward our 3% GDP defence spending target.
