The ~$90M facility build signals growing DoD reliance on NDC and potential for future contract wins in medium caliber and counter-UAS ammunition. However, the 2-year construction timeline means no revenue contribution until at least 2028. Monitor subsequent DoD contract announcements and progress updates. The stock's limited liquidity and defense segment concentration warrant patience — near-term catalyst is absent.
