You require them legally to budget and plan these things and give them harsh penalties if they fail. That they need to set aside money in a way that it can't be touched if they go under. You'll likely need to hire teams at the government to help fill gaps and coordinate.
I don't think you have any idea how much money you're talking about. The fact that you're proposing it in the context of an experimental device that was probably never even marketed is just deranged. We'd still be stuck with 1950s-level technology if you had your way because nobody could afford to develop any new products that can't be made in a basic machine shop.
