Fusion42 · 7 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

The Trump administration is pushing a $1.5 trillion defense spending budget for fiscal year 2027, with policies encouraging direct government contracts to companies making specific military components, boosting US manufacturing and attracting major venture capital investments in defense tech.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
