Our March edition blog is now live! This month, we delve into the topic of "Leveraging Military Skills: The Art of Sussing Out People and Businesses." Here is our re-org (Conclusion) The ability to "suss out" individuals and businesses is a valuable skill acquired through military service, with applications that extend far beyond the battlefield. By leveraging their expertise in observation, critical thinking, and situational awareness, veterans bring a unique perspective to personal and professional interactions, enabling them to make informed decisions and navigate complex environments with confidence and precision.

I’m not an air expert, but this is a very well written piece that puts forward an idea about how to develop mass in our air forces and increase our use of unmanned systems - two issues we are likely to contend with in a future conflict. I appreciate this writer getting quickly to his assertion, developing support, considering a counter argument and concluding with analysis- well done writing!

First, KJP has not answered the question posed! Second, it’s a good question that needs a detailed explanation! Why is Hunter in meetings, traveling on Air Force One, and involved in running America? Third, with Hunter known to be in these meetings, who else from the “family” is there as well? Why? Where is FLOTUS in this as well? https://lnkd.in/gJzmxXTx

Interesting visual. Obviously tonnage is only one metric.

Working alone or in a group, ARCHER keeps pace with the fight, and acquires and destroys targets. ARCHER fires all 155mm munitions, including the most advanced options on the market today, like Excalibur and BONUS. Working with a BONUS shell that includes two sensor-fuzed munitions, ARCHER and BONUS deliver even higher mission success per round than traditional 155mm munitions. #ForBritainByBritain #ARCHER #Howitzer #CombatVehicle

This is one of the most powerful programmes I have watched that captures the impact of the Troubles - then and now - on the families of those who served the Crown and security forces. Those who lived life under constant threat of the bomb and the gun. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those who served on the streets, on the sea and in the shadows - and in the air. https://lnkd.in/dxfvAkRK

There are valid concerns with the US maritime industrial base. But for all the discussion about the challenges of the next generation of ships, we lose sight of the Herculean efforts to launch the ships of today. Were it not for the Littoral Combat Ship, #Austal would not be positioned as a top tier shipbuilder, and the United States is better for it. Another milestone hit, and more capability one step closer to the fight. https://lnkd.in/eaCmewdv

I am Bowhead - Joe Kahoe In this video, Joe Kahoe, Business Development Director for UICGS / Bowhead Family of Companies in Colorado Springs, talks about the work he does to develop business opportunities for the company by identifying, qualifying and capturing opportunities, then following through with winning proposals. "Everyone wants to get bombs on target, missiles in the air, and I love winning. We win because we have qualifications across the waterfront of requirements for the government services contracts." Joe served 30 years in the United States Air Force as a pilot flying F-106 and F-16 aircraft, and had this to add about the value of teamwork and organizational culture at #TeamBowhead: "It's a culture in the Air Force that carries over to the culture in Bowhead. We're all pulling together, we've all got each others' backs, and we're providing mutual support. One badge, one fight, one team." Watch the entire video to see what else Joe says about developing business for Bowhead! #ColoradoSprings #airforce #pilot #spaceindustry #missiledefense #Colorado #culture #community #businessdevelopment #teamwork #employerofchoice

Ukraine’s 2000s-vintage M-1A1 Situational Awareness models aren’t the best-protected Abrams—that honorific belongs to the latest U.S. Army M-1A2s—but the Ukrainian Abrams might be the most modified. The modifications are tailored for defeating two main threats: anti-tank missiles and explosive drones. The reactive armor explodes outward to deflect the missiles’ warheads. The cage armor and jammer disable and block explosive drones.
