Collaboration Matters! This past week, team members across NavalX lines of business were hosted by Northeast Tech Bridge and 401 Tech Bridge in Newport, RI. In addition to strengthening team unity and assessing how we’re doing and how we can continue to improve as a learning organization, we were privileged to meet with the Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, l Sen. Jack Reed, and Rep. Gabe Amo to discuss how we can expedite relevant capabilities into the hands of our #Sailors and #Marines. To that end, we capped the week with a demonstration of swarming small uncrewed surface vessels equipped with tech enabling them to operate in GPS-denied environments. In August, at #BlueTide2024, NavalX spoke with HavocAI and ANELLO Photonics. In the two months since, the collective collaborated to bring to life a demonstration of capabilities sought by our #Sailors and #Marines. Thank you to Joe Turner, Hal Bowron, Andrew Gregg, Coleman Moody, and Paul Lwin at HavocAI for hosting us, Kirstin Schauble from ANELLO Photonics for your quick work on the integration, and 401 Tech Bridge for coordinating the event. It’s so exciting to see the speed at which we can bring ideas to reality for our Service members when we collaborate with mission-driven intent. #MakeItMatter Hon.
