Summary
Episode 96 of The Defense Tech Podcast looks at how the Defense Logistics Agency is buying real-time logistics data from commercial providers like Project44 and FourKites. Lucas and Luna break down the $3.6 billion-dollar JOLTS contract, explain why supply chain visibility is suddenly a national security priority after the Red Sea disruptions, and discuss what this means for defense contractors and commercial logistics startups alike. They also touch on how this procurement shift connects to broader Pentagon digital transformation efforts and the recent surge in defense stocks like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. #DefenseLogistics #PentagonProcurement #SupplyChainVisibility #JOLTS #Project44 #FourKites #DLA #LogisticsTech #DefenseTech #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefensePodcast #SupplyChain #DigitalTransformation #NationalSecurity #RedSea Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
