How the Pentagon Is Buying Quantum Computing Like a Cloud Service

from The Defense Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Government Contracting, Aerospace, and Military Tech · host Fexingo

The Pentagon is quietly shifting its quantum computing acquisitions from bespoke hardware projects to subscription-style cloud access. Lucas and Luna unpack why the Defense Department is now paying for quantum time by the hour, what this means for companies like IonQ and Rigetti, and how a classified pilot at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is changing the procurement playbook. Plus, a look at how today's defense primes like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin are positioning for a quantum-as-a-service future. #QuantumComputing #Pentagon #DefenseTech #Business #Technology #CloudComputing #Procurement #IonQ #Rigetti #NorthropGrumman #LockheedMartin #WrightPatterson #QaaS #NationalSecurity #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GovernmentContracting #MilitaryTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
