Prevents foreign-made cellular parts from being used in U.S. military defense systems.
The problem
U.S. military defense systems may contain cellular modules made by foreign companies, creating potential security vulnerabilities and supply chain risks.
The proposal
Blocks the use of foreign cellular modules in Department of Defense systems and requires replacement with approved domestic alternatives.
The impact
Defense contractors and manufacturers must source cellular components domestically. Military systems gain security. Costs may increase. Domestic suppliers gain market share.
Foreign-made components could contain hidden vulnerabilities or surveillance capabilities. Using only domestic parts reduces the chance of foreign governments accessing sensitive military data through embedded technology.
Domestic sourcing makes the military less dependent on foreign suppliers who could cut off supplies during conflicts. This increases reliability and control over critical defense equipment.
Increased demand for domestic cellular modules creates jobs and business growth for American companies in the technology and manufacturing sectors.
Defense systems are essential to national security. Ensuring they use only trusted domestic components protects the foundation of U.S. military capabilities.
Domestic manufacturing may be more expensive than foreign alternatives. Defense contractors and taxpayers could face higher costs to replace existing foreign components.
The U.S. may have few domestic companies making certain specialized cellular modules. This limits competition and could create bottlenecks in production.
Replacing existing foreign components throughout military systems takes time. This could delay military modernization projects and upgrades.
Foreign countries may view this as unfair trade practice and retaliate with their own restrictions on American companies, harming U.S. exports.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
