I have inside knowledge on this because I support[ed] production for a part of this system. I can't divulge too much information obviously, but we can still manufacture ATACMS. The real issue is a lot of the components and manufacturing processes are terribly out-of-date so it's questionable whether it's worth it when the replacement is on the horizon.
