About this report
The return of large-scale war to Europe has made the ability to rapidly scale up ammunition and missile production a central operational concern for NATO and the EU. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 exposed severe shortfalls in Western munitions stockpiles and industrial surge capacity, highlighting a gap between the Alliance’s economic strength and its readiness for protracted high-intensity conflict .
Even before the war, many NATO countries failed to meet munition stockpile targets, assuming that protracted attritional wars were a thing of the past . The Ukraine conflict shattered those assumptions.
Key questions this report answers

- How do force posture and readiness models depend on industrial surge capacity to meet munition stockpile targets?
- Which capability families, industrial-base actors and value-chain bottlenecks limit Western munitions production?
- What technology clusters and structural changes are required to rebuild stockpiles for protracted high-intensity conflict?
