What does the report “Europe’s Sovereign Ground-Based Deep-Strike Build-Out” cover?

Between September 2024 and June 2026 the British Ministry of Defence compressed into twenty months a sequence that European missile development has customarily taken three times as long to complete: twenty-seven proposals received, six prototype contracts of around £5 million each, three finalists carried through to firing, and from one of them an effector that moved from the drawing board to demonstration in nine months. Around that speed, however, everything else continues to move at the old pace. A rocket motor must be qualified to a particular pressure regime, grain geometry and missile interface, and qualification is measured in years.
