about us
War has become increasingly digital, decentralized, and fast – leading to compressed decision cycles. The future of military operations will demand innovative approaches to planning, rehearsal, and execution to outpace adversaries and seize the initiative. We are building a next generation defense company to retool defense software to meet these demands.
