3Frameworks

Framework

Can we manufacture 50+ launch vehicles per year?

Is production rate per facility sufficient?

Current production: 12 vehicles/year per facility

Need 4.2 vehicles/year per facility for 50 launches (4 facilities)

Is supply chain capacity a bottleneck?

Engine production: 48/year → 60/year needed (25% gap)

Avionics lead time: 8 weeks → 4 weeks target

Can logistics handle 50 launches annually?

Is transport and assembly capacity enough?

Weekly vehicle delivery to launch site (vs. monthly today)

Assembly TAT reduction: 6 weeks → 3 weeks

Storage and inventory optimization?

Peak inventory: 8 vehicles (reduces to 4 with JIT)

Storage cost per year: $12M → $6M savings

Do regulatory and range capacity support 50 launches?

Is range capacity sufficient?

Range availability: 85 days/year → need 100 days for 50 launches

Launch window utilization: 70% → 85% target

Regulatory compliance at scale?

Licensing time per launch: 30 days → streamlined to 15 days

Safety incident rate: maintain <0.5% across scaling
