    Hey Palmer, congrats on IVAS. I first tested augmented reality in 2015 in the SEAL Teams. I used Microsoft’s IVAS in the middle stages. I think you guys can do a great job here. I wanted to share something to keep in mind as you move forward with the IVAS effort: when you are on

    TRUE STORY: We're not able to fly at a US range today because NASA wants their Range Observer present. We're launching from a boat and NASA would put their range observer on this boat with a bunch of people. So what's the problem? NASA doesn't know what boat qualifications the

    The DoD must 100x the amount of electronic warfare testing it currently does. Near all of our unmanned assets and a large number of weapon systems will simply not work when GPS and communications is jammed. We are not training how we will fight and this will be paid for in blood.

    Excited to announce Japan has selected VBAT for it's program of record. Japan is an important ally in the region, they are critical for deterrence efforts. Congrats to the @shieldaitech team, lot of hard work went into this.

    VBAT is absolutely lethal on the battlefield. We've ramped operations and the effects are wild. Even when comms and GPS are denied. If you want to close kill chains fast, you need long endurance, long duration, survivable ISR-Targeting platforms that can operate without GPS &
