WASHINGTON - James Taiclet, the new chief executive at Lockheed Martin the Pentagon’s largest weapons supplier, is keen to use 5G networks to bolster the militaries’ autonomous capabilities, he told Reuters in an interview following the company’s earnings announcement on Tuesday.

Lockheed raised its full-year profit and revenue forecasts on Tuesday as the U.S. weapons supplier overcame coronavirus-driven supply disruptions in its aeronautics unit that makes the F-35 fighter jet. He envisions a future where half to three-quarters of military vehicles are autonomous, and a robust 5G network is the backbone of that fleet.

During a post earnings conference call with investors Taiclet gave the networking plan a name: “I’ve got an idea called 5G.mil that we’re going to try to figure out.”
