Here’s what that means 👇
Read this especially if you care about government efficiency, defense technology, or how Washington handles big contracts.
⚙️ What’s Changing
Hegseth is rolling out new rules that remove decades of bureaucracy in how the Pentagon approves and buys weapons. The goal is to field next generation tech at what he calls the speed of threat.
🏗️ Who’s Involved
Legacy contractors like Lockheed and RTX will now compete directly with rising players like Palantir and Epirus. New Portfolio Executives will have power to skip multiple approval layers to fast-track deployment.
📜 The Backstory
Trump signed an executive order in April giving the Pentagon authority to modernize procurement. Hegseth’s overhaul is the first full implementation of that order.
🧠 The Bottom Line
The Pentagon wants speed and flexibility over tradition. If it works, future conflicts could be shaped by how fast America can adapt, not just how much it can spend.
