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

Defense contracting isn't just F-35s and carrier groups. Lucas and Luna break down the actual economics of military tech: how aerospace primes like Lockheed, RTX, and Northrop Grumman manage multi-year fixed-price development contracts, what the DoD’s new CMMC cybersecurity rules mean for small subcontractors, and why the Navy’s Columbia-class submarine program is a case study in industrial-base risk. Each episode starts with a real number — a contract award value, a quarterly P&L line from a defense prime, a Pentagon budget line item — and builds a conversation around it. Lucas, a former defense correspondent, brings the policy and accounting; Luna, a tech-market analyst, connects the programs to publicly traded supply chains and venture-backed startups trying to break into classified markets. No classified information, no defense-blog speculation — just the business logic behind the weapons systems you read about in the news. Why does a missile cost $4 million? How does a shipbuilder hedge against steel tariffs? And what happens when a startup wins a Small Business Innovation Research grant for a prototype that the Air Force actually wants to buy? This is the business of national security, one budget line at a time. #DefenseTech #GovernmentContracting #AerospaceIndustry #MilitaryTech #LockheedMartin #NorthropGrumman #Raytheon #PentagonBudget #CMMC #SBIR #NavalShipbuilding #Hypersonics #SpaceForce #DefenseStartups #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Inside the Pentagon's Battlefield Biomanufacturing Push

    Inside the Pentagon's Battlefield Biomanufacturing Push
    2026/06/07
    The Pentagon is investing millions to produce critical supplies — from fuels to pharmaceuticals — on the battlefield using engineered microorganisms. Lucas and Luna break down the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's 'Battlefield Biomanufacturing' program, which aims to turn shipping containers into living factories. They explore the technical hurdles, the strategic rationale, and what this means for logistics in contested environments. With reference to current defense stock moves and the broader geopolitical context of the Iran conflict, they ask whether synthetic biology can truly untether the military from fragile supply chains. #DefenseTech #Pentagon #Biomanufacturing #SyntheticBiology #DARPA #MilitaryLogistics #BattlefieldBiotech #AdvancedManufacturing #SupplyChainResilience #ContestedLogistics #Biofuels #Pharmaceuticals #Business #Technology #DefenseContracting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How the Pentagon Is Rewriting Its Drone Acquisition Playbook

    How the Pentagon Is Rewriting Its Drone Acquisition Playbook
    2026/06/06
    Episode 35 of The Defense Tech Podcast unpacks the Pentagon's new 'recurring competition' model for drones and autonomous systems, shifting from single-winner mega-contracts to rapid, iterative awards. Lucas and Luna discuss why this matters for primes like General Atomics and Kratos, how it impacts the $40 billion uncrewed systems budget, and whether the model can scale beyond drones. With Lockheed up 1.4% in a mixed defense sector, they explore the tension between acquisition speed and industrial base stability. Featuring the new Replicator initiative as a case study, the hosts ask: can the Pentagon really buy drones like Silicon Valley buys software? #DefenseTech #Drones #PentagonAcquisition #Replicator #AutonomousSystems #Kratos #GeneralAtomics #LockheedMartin #DefenseBudget #UncrewedSystems #MilitaryTech #DefenseIndustrialBase #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefenseContracting #GovernmentContracting Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The Pentagon Space Traffic Control Problem

    The Pentagon Space Traffic Control Problem
    2026/06/06
    With SpaceX preparing for a potential IPO and Starlink surpassing 10,000 satellites, the Pentagon faces an urgent orbital traffic management crisis. Lucas and Luna examine the Space Force's new traffic coordination system, the gaps in current tracking technology, and the $1.8 billion commercial data contract that could reshape space situational awareness. They discuss the growing risk of collisions, the regulatory vacuum, and why the Defense Department is pushing for international rules of the road. Featuring specifics on the Space Surveillance Network's limitations and the rise of AI-based collision avoidance. #SpaceTrafficManagement #Pentagon #SpaceForce #OrbitalDebris #Starlink #SpaceX #SatelliteCollision #SpaceSituationalAwareness #DefenseTech #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SpacePolicy #CommercialSpace #SpaceSurveillance #CollisionAvoidance #OrbitalGovernance #SpaceDomainAwareness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
