Strategic Geography

Distance Defines Relevance.

Today's air-launched envelope tops out near 500 mi. The rear-area targets that matter most sit 1,000–1,500 mi out. Three theaters, one capability gap.

LEGACY STANDOFF

0 – 500 mi

JASSM-ER, SCALP, LRASM class

THE GAP

1,000 – 1,500 mi

Strategic raider class. Nothing fielded.

Theater 01

Taiwan Strait

Tinian → Taiwan

1,490 MI

2,400 KM

Tinian airfield was revitalized in 2026 specifically for distributed Pacific operations. From Tinian, the Taiwan Strait sits inside the strategic-range envelope. Today only B-21/B-52 or carrier LRASM reach it.

Theater 02

NATO Black Sea Axis

Romania → S. Russia

1,050 MI

1,690 KM

NATO's only Black Sea littoral with a US-funded mega-base. JASSM-ER tops out near 500 mi. A strategic-range asset reaches the entire Russian southern flank.

Theater 03

Red Sea / Gulf

Qatar → Bab-el-Mandeb

1,080 MI

1,740 KM

$20K Houthi drones consume $2M interceptors. One base holds both Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz at risk. the two-chokepoint problem becomes one fires solution.

The New Domain

Strategic Raider Swarm Platform.
All Three Edges. Simultaneously.

A new munition class. Not a cheaper cruise missile. Not a longer-range loitering drone. Strategic range, low-cost mass, and coordinated swarm in one platform.

Nothing fielded today does all three.

Theater Range

800–2,400 km
500–1,500 mi

Launches from outside the threat envelope. Strikes every NATO and Indo-Pacific priority target set without forward basing or prepositioned assets. Range is what makes this strategic, not tactical. Cheap cruise missiles solve cost. They do not solve range. SRSP solves both.

Automotive Scale

Stamped
not machined

Assembly line, not clean room. Sub-systems designed for volume from the first BOM. Automotive Tier-1 supply chains. Each licensed nation adds a production node. The Iran campaign burned 1,200+ cruise missiles. Replenishment timeline: 36 months. SRSP replenishes in weeks.

Degraded Ready

GPS-denied
+ intercept-resistant by design

Operates without GPS or comms. AI swarm coordination confirmed in live theater, March 2026. Low-RCS from airframe geometry. No coating, no defeat mechanism. Terrain-following. Built for the environment that actually exists.

Competitive Landscape

The Lane is Crystallizing.

The low-cost mass-produced strike category has crystallized around four programs. Three are pure air-launched. One is multi-mode. None reach strategic range. None are SRS-class. Cheap cruise missiles solve unit cost. They do not solve operational reach.

The Blue Ocean

The visible cohort clusters at ~500 nm and $150,000 to $220,000 per unit. They compete as low-cost cruise missiles. Strategic-range, air-launched, swarm-coordinated is the blue ocean. That is the SRS class. Performance and economics sit behind partner tier. Request access to see them.

Unit Cost Sources

      [3] Kratos Ragnarök LCCM ~$150K at quantity 100, Kratos (suggested price). Production rate not publicly disclosed.

Competitive Moat

Production Architecture is the Moat.

Traditional defense optimizes for performance.
SRSP optimizes for manufacturability.

The moat is not a proprietary sensor or a classified propulsion system. The moat is a process. Tooling-first geometry means components are designed for stamping, not machining. the same discipline that scales automotive production globally.

This architecture compounds. Each licensed nation adds a production node that strengthens the global supply chain. Each production run reduces per-unit cost. Scale is the weapon.

Traditional aerospace primes cannot pivot to this model without dismantling their existing cost structures. SRSP is built for it from first principles.

01

Tooling-First Geometry Stamped, not machined. Designed for volume from Day 1.

02

Automotive Tier-1 Supply Chain Proven global supplier network. Not aerospace. No single-source dependency.

03

Modular Subassemblies Repeatable across nations. Each new line adds capacity, not complexity.

04

IP Retained at Core Licensed manufacturing model. Revenue scales without capex duplication.

Market Opportunity

NATO Rearmament is a Structural Procurement Cycle. Not a Spike.

TAM

$4B+/yr

20+ allied nations with active strategic strike procurement. Current spend locked in $2M+ cruise missile economics. SRSP unlocks demand that was previously priced out. Volume-based deterrence becomes affordable for mid-tier NATO members for the first time.

SAM

$1.2B/yr

6 initial target nations with compatible doctrine, active rearmament budgets, and ITAR-viable export pathways: Poland, Germany, Israel, Australia, Japan, USA. Licensed manufacturing model. Asset-light. IP retained at core.

SOM

$100M–$300M

Near-term capturable revenue from first 2–3 nation contracts. Government procurement cycles of 12–18 months post-demo. Each signed nation is a $40M+ initial order with multi-year follow-on.

Why Now

€100B

Germany's structural rearmament commitment. Largest European defense expansion since reunification.

~4% GDP

Poland's defense spending. Highest in NATO. Active procurement across all strike categories.

~400/yr

US Tomahawk production ceiling. The entire American industrial base, capped. Under sustained warfighting demand, stockpiles hollow out faster than they refill.

Tomahawk cannot scale. The Primes will not. SRSP does both.

Precision deterrence at a price the Primes will not sell. At a volume their lines cannot reach.

Where LCCM Sits

Kratos Ragnarök LCCM and peers target the ~500 nm band at ~$150K. They solve the cost line. They do not solve the range line. SRSP holds both at once. strategic range with low-cost mass.
