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 defe...

The Quiet Revolution in Hypersonic Defense Testing 21.05.2026

In this episode of The Defense Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the overlooked bottleneck holding back hypersonic weapons: ground testing. With Northrop Grumman (NOC) up 0.6% in the past week and the Pentagon pushing for operational prototypes by 2028, they explore how a new wave of private test facilities—like Mach 7 wind tunnels and plasma-jet chambers—are shortening development cycles. Lu...

The F-35 Logistics Crisis That Could Reshape Fighter Jet Economics 19.05.2026

In the debut episode of The Defense Tech Podcast, Lucas and Luna anchor on a single number: the F-35 program's $1.5 trillion lifetime sustainment cost — a figure that exceeds the GDP of most nations. They unpack how Lockheed Martin's logistics model is under pressure as the Pentagon pushes for performance-based contracts, and what that means for the broader defense industrial base. With the 30-yea...
