It's a big challenge when you run out of interceptors...

We're absolutely not running out of APKWS. They are manufactured by tens of thousands, and Hydra 70s are even more numerous.
APKWS is great for certain drone classes, but we don't enough enough launching systems tied to detection and targeting systems fielded.
Need more range for larger drones.
