Defense innovation community + acquisition network: Please take a look at this invaluable research survey on DoD acquisition that USSF Officer, Roman Tillman, is conducting with the goal of informing a set of best practices that can be codified in creating USSF acquisition doctrine. Driving innovation can be thankless, heavy work, but THIS is a tangible way to get your voices heard + support work that has the potential to inform the next generations of defense acquisition - informed by lessons learned, inspired by the warfighter, and committed to the mission. Endless thanks to you & your thought leadership, Roman Tillman. I'm beyond excited to see what you create -- I'm certain we need it.

The Washington Technology Top 100 rankings are in! At last night's event, we unveiled that Leidos has continued its five-year reign. Lockheed Martin was a close second. In a shakeup, Northrop Grumman took Booz Allen Hamilton’s spot for third. RTX moved into the top five, beating out General Dynamics. But whatever the final number, it hammers home a point that Nick Wakeman likes to make with each Top 100: These companies are more than a set of high-performing players. When you consider the amount of spending that flows through them, they are another market.
