US DOD wants right-to-repair provisions in Army contracts to access tools, software, and technical data without IP constraints
Many military contracts include provisions that don’t allow US Army to repair its own equipment
This may change thanks to a new transformation strategy
Both Republicans and Democrats have argued for the right to repair
Shockingly, under past procurement contracts, the US Army hasn’t always held the right to repair its own equipment – but both Democrats and Republicans agree this now has to change.
The US Secretary of the Army, Dan Driscoll and General Randy George, US Army Chief of staff, have issued an announcement confirming a “comprehensive transformation strategy,” which will, “reexamine all requirements and eliminate unnecessary ones, ruthlessly prioritize fighting formations to directly contribute to lethality, and empower leaders at echelon to make hard calls to ensure resources align with strategic objectives.”
