How the Pentagon Is Buying Battlefield Connectivity Like a Cellular Carrier
from The Defense Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Government Contracting, Aerospace, and Military Tech · host Fexingo
The Pentagon is transforming how it buys battlefield communications, shifting from buying individual radios to procuring a resilient, cellular-like network. Lucas and Luna break down the new program called Resilient Battlefield Communications (RBC), which treats connectivity as a service rather than hardware. They compare it to how a carrier buys spectrum and builds infrastructure, and discuss what this means for defense contractors like L3Harris and RTX. Specific numbers from recent contract awards and a comparison to commercial 5G deployment are included. The episode argues this model could reshape defense procurement for decades. #PentagonProcurement #BattlefieldConnectivity #ResilientBattlefieldCommunications #RBC #L3Harris #RTX #DefenseTech #MilitaryCommunications #CellularModel #ProcurementReform #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefensePodcast #DefenseContracting #MilitaryTech #5G Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
