Trump Pentagon is 'thinking' about taking equity stakes in defense contractors, says Lutnick

cnbc.com

The DOD procurement is corrupt enough, but somehow it could get more corrupt.

The US government is coming for all US companies - QCOM included.

From Google AI: While QCOM (Qualcomm) is not a traditional defense contractor like Lockheed Martin or Boeing, it does provide technology and services to the US government and defense agencies. The company leverages its expertise in commercial wireless technologies to develop military-focused applications, particularly in communications and cybersecurity.
QCOM's defense-related activities
Government-focused division
  • Qualcomm has a specialized division, Qualcomm Government Technologies (QGOV), that provides mission-specific wireless solutions and services to government partners.

Research and development contracts
  • Qualcomm has been awarded contracts by defense agencies like the US Army and the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for research and development.
  • Projects have involved adapting commercial technologies, like GPS capabilities, for military use.

Cybersecurity and authentication
  • QCOM has worked with the Department of Defense (DoD) and DISA on pilot programs for mobile security.
  • These programs focus on hardware-anchored, multi-factor authentication to secure mobile devices used by military personnel.

Partnerships with military institutions
  • Qualcomm has partnered with military research institutions like the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) to explore the application of emerging technologies like 5G, AI, and robotics for military use cases.
