FARNBOROUGH, England, July 19 | Mon Jul 19, 2010 11:39am EDT

FARNBOROUGH, England, July 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. solid rocket motor industry is "over capacity" and needs consolidation, the Pentagon's top official for industrial policy said.

"It is over capacity right now," Brett Lambert said at the Farnborough Airshow on Monday, adding a consolidation was long overdue.

"We should have squeezed out that capacity 10 years ago." (Editing by Dan Lalor; Reuters Farnborough Media Centre +44 1252-418188)
