Did you spot R² (Rebecca Jeffrey and Rakhee Khambhati) this weekend at the Army-Navy Football Game? 🇺🇲 🏈 As Army and Navy faced off in one of the most celebrated rivalries in sports, R²—our dynamic duo—found themselves on opposite sides, cheering on their respective alma maters at the field of friendly strife. For service academy graduates, the journey from the battlefield to the boardroom is driven by the same values: teamwork, resilience, and a commitment to mission. Dual-use innovation builds on those principles, equipping military leaders with tools that enhance mission readiness and drive global progress. At DTI, we’re proud to support the next generation of leaders and innovators shaping the future of defense and technology—just like the Army-Navy game reminds us, progress happens when rivalry meets respect. #ArmyNavyGame #AmericasGame #DualUseTech #NationalSecurity #MissionDrivenInnovation #USAA #Palantir

STRATFI awardee, Varda Space Industries, secured a four-year, $48 million Phase III contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory to test military payloads on the company’s reentry capsules at hypersonic speeds. Their factory-in-orbit spacecraft satellite is engineered to produce high-value materials such as pharmaceuticals in zero-gravity conditions. The materials are returned to Earth in a capsule built with advanced thermal protection materials developed by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration to withstand reentry. The new contract builds on Varda’s prior collaboration with the United States Air Force and their $60 million STRATFI contract to adapt its capsules for hypersonic testing.
