Defense Technology Hubs Act of 2025

This bill establishes the Defense Technology Hubs Program, requiring the Secretary of Defense to create 10 regional hubs by 2028. These hubs - formed by partnerships of universities, defense contractors, small businesses, and state/local governments - will focus on accelerating development of defense technologies like AI, quantum computing, and hypersonics. The program authorizes $375 million (2026-2030) for grants, with hubs using funds for research, prototyping, and workforce training while complying with security rules like export controls (ITAR/EAR) and cybersecurity standards. It prioritizes geographic diversity and aims to strengthen collaboration between defense agencies, industry, and academic institutions to boost national security innovation.
