This is happening today. If you’re in Austin and you don’t show up it’s like you’re betting against Reindustrializing. It’s like you’re betting against America.

Lethality starts here. Last week, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, the Army showcased the next generation of capabilities built for one purpose: ensuring our warfighters dominate and destroy the enemy on any battlefield. @SecWar made it clear that autonomy is not just the future of warfare. It’s how we win.

Since you asked so nicely: a custom built racing drone moving faster than anything on the battlefield today (no payload drag), a top tier FPV pilot twisting and turning, at a great distance (sorry, can't share) Bullfrog killed it on the first burst

Mid market verticalized ai token account exec has to be the best job in the valley the last 3 years. Just caking beyond belief. It’s 2013 all over again but with new toys to hawk.

This was the debut of archer AI, the first Neros product where an onboard computer can see the world - a big step forward for useful and cost effective Autonomy. The autonomy team and NPI team has crushed it with this and are hiring aggressively.

Over the last 4 years, lots of people have asked me "why Forterra" or "why do you care about the ground domain so much." Well, we came from the infantry and despite the hype around drones/maritime, wars are still decided on the ground. It is the dirtiest, most dangerous layer of warfare where human beings have always had to be the blunting force. So @JoshAraujo and I wrote a paper about it (yes, ex-Marines can write.) forterra.com/why-we-build

Why We Build | Forterra

Every technological revolution has moved dangerous work from people to machines. Ground warfare is the exception. Forterra exists to change that.

To build the Arsenal of Freedom, American companies must move fast—and move at scale. Thankfully, the patriots of Austin, Texas, have answered the call. AMERICAN WORKERS. AMERICAN MADE.

We are fixing this problem at Deterrence inside the defense industrial base (and grateful for the Tesla alumni helping us, thanks @elonmusk ). Human learning is too precious to let atrophy: we can preserve it and expand it, if we use machines correctly.

So proud of @allencontrol systems crushing it at Falcon Peak 26.2 Run by @USNorthernCmd and JIATF 401 for @DeptofWar, exercises like Falcon Peak are how government and industry respond to the drone threat, to get c-UAS tested and rapidly fielded for the US and our partners
