This bill creates a new Defense Technology Hubs Program that the Secretary of Defense must establish to boost innovation in military technology across the country. The program will designate regional hubs—partnerships between universities, defense contractors, small businesses, nonprofits, and local governments—that focus on developing cutting-edge defense technologies like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, advanced manufacturing, and hypersonics. These hubs will serve as collaboration centers where the Department of Defense works directly with private industry and academic institutions to speed up research and get new technologies into military use faster. The bill aims to establish at least 10 hubs spread across different regions of the country within three years, with preference given to areas near military installations and defense facilities. The hubs will receive federal grants (up to 50% of their operating costs) to fund research projects, workforce training programs, and technology development. To protect national security, all hubs must follow strict cybersecurity standards, export control regulations, and security clearance procedures, and they cannot include foreign entities of concern. The program is authorized to receive $375 million in funding from 2026 through 2030, with $75 million specifically available for grants to the hubs.
