There are some excellent tips here for small businesses looking to work directly with U.S. defense and intelligence agencies.

We have new drawings posted over at Magnecopter.com which show more detail of the 'airflow control' (top) surfaces, and, the 'thrust vectoring flight controls' (bottom and outer edge). This can take off and land in MANY MORE LOCATIONS THAN ANY HELO because the runup and winddown do not create rotor wash BECAUSE THE ENTIRE WING ASSEMBLY CAN BE ENCLOSED. Read that again. This is a Unique Selling Point of the Magnecopter over the helicopter or tiltrotor. You spin up the wing, climb aboard and .....check the settings...hit the pedal and WHOOOOOSHHHH!! The only question is; how many G's can you take this morning without throwing up your coffee. for perspective; Please bear in mind that, as designed, the diameter of the entire machine is ~6 meters, the wing section ~1 meter wide, center section 2-3 meters, and connecting assemblies make up the rest. As designed, it fits on a suburban 2-car driveway. Disclaimer: I know there's a lot of other, better ways to vent thrust. I'm just trying to demonstrate the concept. #magnecopter #magneticallydrivenwing #magneticallydrivenhelicopter #vtol #robotaxi #urbanmobility #regulations #visionary #sustainable #electricvehicles #evtol #investments #helicopter #tiltrotor #vertol #verticaltakeoff #venturecapital #advancedairmobility Avemag™ ‘Wayne Avellanet’s magnetically driven concentric wing assembly’ Magnecopter™ ‘Magnetically Driven Helicopter’ Magnecopter.com

Reducing latency from 2 Seconds to the time it takes to blink. Last week Meritalk released an article on DISA's plan to roll Thunderdome out to 60 sites through FY2024.  You may ask why this is important?  Why should anyone care? This matters because Thunderdome is likely to be one of the most impactful cybersecurity programs in DoD history.  All while America’s adversaries are the most aggressive they’ve ever been.  Why does Thunderdome matter? Through Thunderdome, the DOD is significantly increasing security, lowering costs, and massively improving the user experience all at the same time.  The perfect trifecta.  Imagine being a user and waiting for web response times in excess of 2 seconds. It's 2024, Thunderdome fixes this, globally. Direct benefits: -Direct Access to the NIPRnet from anywhere in the world -Users access SaaS services directly through the service connections, bypassing the JRSS stacks -Improves existing remote access latency from 2s to <10ms -Provides full ZTNA capabilities (conditional access) and full continuous monitoring of all traffic, users, and devices -Aligns on premises ZT policies with remote users This matters and brings DoD connectivity into more modern times while increasing conditional based access and security. It's faster, less expensive, and more secure. https://lnkd.in/eDp3ykX7 #meritalk #disa #CISO #ZT #zerotrust #DoD #defensedepartment

Interesting to see the broader applications of evals with TruLens. It's quite critical to use evaluations for understanding the quality of LLM applications.

A recent US Navy review has unveiled significant shipbuilding delays in the US, highlighting larger systemic issues constraining production capacity. The review, ordered by Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, aimed to identify causes of shipbuilding challenges and recommend actions for improvement. Key findings from the review include delays in major shipbuilding programs, challenges contributing to delays, funding tensions and supply chain frailty, and workforce and technology challenges. The review emphasized the importance of stable funding and advance procurement to ensure a healthy supply chain, and experts are calling for a more consistent demand signal and incremental improvements to mitigate delays. This Navy review serves as a wake-up call for shipbuilding officials, urging them to take action and make progress. Congress has been called upon to rectify the Navy budget to support the service's ability to project power globally and protect Virginia's shipbuilding ecosystem. #Navy #Shipbuilding #Delays #Challenges #SupplyChain #Workforce #Technology #USNavy #IndustrialBase #Budget #Progress

"Failing to leverage reciprocity to the greatest extent possible can lead to redundant and resource-intensive efforts. Without recognizing the assessments conducted by other entities, the organization might be compelled to undertake its own comprehensive evaluations of systems and networks, even when similar assessments have already been performed by trusted partners. This results in a wasteful allocation of time, manpower, and financial resources, hindering the organization’s ability to efficiently manage and enhance its cybersecurity posture." Haven't read the whole playbook yet, but jumping straight to the above quote, I am excited to see the emphasis on reciprocity being pushed from the highest levels. This will make us better as a DoD, and hopefully will help some future action officers to not have as many late nights trying to de-mystify the ATO.

Senior Advisor at the DoD Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office and Chief Product Officer of Advana, Ashley Elizabeth Evans, and others shared insights on leveraging AI/ML and automation to bolster mission readiness in defense during FedScoop's #uipathontour. The collaborative efforts between the entire CDAO, including Advana, are aimed at harnessing the potential of data and AI/ML technologies to optimize decision-making processes and operational efficiency within the DoD and defense operations. Engaging in forward-looking dialogues with other leaders such as these is essential for advancing technology within defense operations.
