What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Defence policy in the UK and Europe is undergoing a structural shift, moving beyond short-term procurement cycles.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Because defence programs are long-duration and require extensive coordination before cash is received, liquidity is becoming as important as contract visibility for prime contractors and specialist suppliers.
