They Said It
ā€œOne of the issues that was raised by the senior officials in the Ministry of Defense and Air Force back when I visited Kyiv was, ā€˜Can you help us please figure out a way to deny commercial satellite coverage that the Russians are using to see what weā€™re doing here in Ukraine?ā€™ So, yeah, sensing has become ubiquitous.ā€

ā€” retired Lt. Gen. David Deptula, Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies

Fighter Pilot Wade "Stab" Holmes & Family
are in the fight of their lives.

His fighter squadron started a way to provide mutual support with just $1, but we were so moved that we donated The Mergeā€™s entire monthly income to the cause.

Then, someone decided to outdo us with a $1500 donation. We couldnā€™t let this stand, soā€¦we threw down a $1501 donation to resume our place at the top.

But that only last a few hours before someone else leveled-up our effort by $1. Going to press, the current top donor is $1,502. Amazing!

We also set up a webpage here that has 2 key items:

  1. A way to capture any leads for trials or treatments for Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG), the incurable tumor growing on Stabā€™s brain stem

  2. The gofundme his fighter squadron set up to help his family

Zoom in

Do you wish there was a phone book for all the offices in the Department of Defense that buy things? There is.

Zoom in here for the first-ever PEO Directory (itā€™s not 100% complete or accurate, but is a fantastic baseline).

In that Number

2.5 million

The US Air Force gets bombarded with 2.5 million cybersecurity alerts per day.

Check our latest episode with Dan Magy, co-founder and CEO of Firestorm.

Theyā€™re on a mission to democratize the air by re-imaging how drones are built by making them radically affordable and mission-adaptable.

They developed a method to 3D-print drones at the point of need, using a combination of shipping-container-based factories and localized supply chains.

Best of all, the drones are modularā€”from props to jets, AI to sensors, etc.
