The Pentagon will allocate $ 600 million for contracts for “dual-use 5G experiments” at 5 US military facilities, including for “lethal use.”

The US military has partnered with more than a dozen companies for “large-scale experiments” with 5G technology, including efforts to increase the “lethality” of certain systems, as part of a $ 600 million project.

Calling 5G technology “a foundational vehicle for modernizing the entire US defense,” the Pentagon announced on Thursday a massive research initiative that will donate hundreds of millions of dollars to 15 private contractors for testing at five US military facilities.

Pentagon:

“The Department of Defense today announced $ 600 million for 5G experiments and trials at five US military training grounds, representing the largest full-scale 5G tests for dual-use applications in the world.”

Selected for the project include telecommunications companies AT&T, Nokia and Ericsson, exploration and information technology contractor Booz-Allen Hamilton, research arm of General Electric, GE Research and a subsidiary of aerospace giant General Dynamics.
