Reporting comments from an electronics industry insider that “the whole supply chain is a mess right now”, the article highlight a particular concern that “small businesses that form a core of the Pentagon’s future technological development may be particularly vulnerable”.

The article refers to a supply chain “ecosystem” which may suffers widespread failure due to the coronavirus.
