Pentagon to dish out $600mn in contracts for โ€˜5G dual-use EXPERIMENTATIONโ€™ at 5 US military sites, including to ‘aid lethality’

โ€œโ€ฆ The US military has partnered with more than a dozen companies for โ€œlarge-scale experimentationโ€ with 5G technology, including efforts to enhance the [cyber]โ€œlethalityโ€ of certain systems, in whatโ€™s slated to be a $600 million project.


Dubbing 5G tech a โ€œfoundational enabler for all US defense modernization,โ€ the Pentagon announced the massive research initiative on Thursday, which will hand hundreds of millions to 15 private contractors to conduct testing at five US military installations.

โ€œToday, the Department of Defense announced $600 million in awards for 5G experimentation and testing at five US military test sites, representing the largest full-scale 5G tests for dual-use applications in the world,โ€ the Pentagon said in a statement, adding that it would bring together experts from several industries and disciplines.

โ€ฆ Firms selected for the project include telecoms AT&T, Nokia and Ericsson, intelligence and infotech contractor Booz-Allen Hamilton, the research wing of General Electric, GE Research, and a subsidiary of aerospace giant General Dynamics.

One effort spearheaded by AT&T at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada will apply 5G to โ€œdistributed command and controlโ€ systems in order to โ€œaid in Air, Space, and Cyberspace lethality,โ€ enhancing communications for mobile command centers in combat scenarios.

At Washington stateโ€™s Joint Base Lewis-McChord, AT&T will also work alongside Booz-Allen and two other firms to develop 5G-enabled virtual reality technology for training, mission planning and even โ€œoperational use,โ€ though the Pentagon provided no examples of the latter applicationโ€ฆ..โ€
