It seems that the Pentagon is making a push to use more open source software. They don't specify what software they are wanting to switch to, more what would not be open source. Software used for spying, encryption and decryption, relaying commands, or directing weapons for instance wouldn't be open source or have the code shared.

I don''t know if this will actually happen or not. Apparently they already said something similar in 2016.
