Critical materials, such as rare earth elements, are crucial for military hardware. They support industries like aerospace, electronics and reliable energy, which significantly contribute to the U.S. economy and national defense. Jet engines, missile systems and advanced radar equipment rely on critical materials. For instance, neodymium is a key component in the powerful magnets used in the precision-guided missile systems deployed by the U.S. military. Submarines are equipped with advanced technology, and sophisticated sonar systems, all of which depend on rare earth elements to function efficiently.
