"If they can find ways to get to a happy medium with modifications to existing contracts, that'll set the stage for some important steps," Stan Soloway said.

In an April 30 memo, Hegseth directed the Army secretary to “identify and propose contract modifications for right to repair provisions where intellectual property constraints limit the Army’s ability to conduct maintenance and access the appropriate maintenance tools, software, and technical data.”

Hegseth said the contracts should ease restrictions while “preserving the intellectual capital of American industry.”
