Lockheed CEO Pitches Pentagon on Subscription Software
Lockheed CEO Pitches Pentagon on Subscription Software
We are approaching levels of grift never thought possible.
No wonder the seat warmers in my f35 won’t turn on.
"enter your card details to allow the plane to burn enough fuel to get you all the way home"
If your subscription lapses, you have an ejector seat mishap and your jet auto pilots back to Lockheed.
"Sorry, you can't fire additional missiles without the Lockheed premium missile+ plan. Please contact one of our sales representives to continue."
LMAO thats insane
I don't understand, what are they exactly trying to sell them? Subscription for what applications?
Basically the US military will only have access to it's military software as long as they pay Lockheed for access.
Please say yes Pentagon. This could actually be the nail in the coffin for the empire, I sincerely expect them to forget to renew in a year or two.
Furthermore, private companies can require you contract them for maintenance, as happens with the F35 and F16 currently (albeit on a country level)
The privately owned permanent war economy continues to eat its own tail.
