    Exciting times at Firestorm! We’re thrilled to see the incredible advancements they’re making in defense technology. Their recent participation in the T-REX 24-2 event showcased the impressive capabilities of the Tempest drones, executing autonomous missions with remarkable precision and minimal human intervention. The coordinated flight of two Tempest drones—one for ISR and the other for loitering munition missions—marks a significant milestone for the team. We can’t wait to see what they’ll showcase at JIFX this November at Camp Roberts. Keep pushing the boundaries!

    Firestorm has made remarkable strides in pushing the boundaries of defense technology, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s on the horizon. We recently successfully participated in the T-REX 24-2 event, where our Tempest drones executed autonomous missions with minimal human intervention, from takeoff to landing. For the first time, we flew two Tempest drones in a coordinated mission—one conducting ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and the other performing a loitering munition mission. The T-REX event was instrumental in validating technical maturation, and our drones demonstrated their capability as modular, rapidly deployable systems that seamlessly integrate with joint assets. We also demonstrated our flexibility at Silent Swarm by integrating the external customer's payload into our aircraft systems rapidly and executing multi-agent missions, all while showcasing the adaptability of our systems at high altitudes. We're excited to return to JIFX this November at Camp Roberts, where we’ll be showcasing our cutting-edge aerial vehicles once again. Thank you to the entire Firestorm team for the tireless effort recently!

    At HavocAI, we're thrilled to announce the closing of our Seed Funding Round. This comes at a critical time amidst war in Europe, conflict in the Middle East, and rising tensions in the Pacific. Initiatives such as Replicator and the CNO's Project 33 unveiled earlier this week, send a clear message to the industry that autonomous systems will play a pivotal role in the next great conflict. HavocAI stands ready to answer the call by making maritime autonomy truly scalable, enabling a single operator to supervise thousands of autonomous systems anywhere on the globe. Countless thanks to our incredible investors led by Scout Ventures, co-led by Trousdale Ventures and supported by Outlander VC, The Veteran Fund, Decisive PointBVVC, New North Ventures, and Alumni Ventures. We're grateful for your partnership and trust.

    We're excited to share that Red Cat Holdings (Nasdaq: RCAT) has secured $1.6 million in contracts following the acquisition of our portfolio company, FlightWave Aerospace (Fund I)! This funding will be used towards FlightWave's Edge 130 Blue drones, a UAS approved military-grade tricopter to the U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP). The contract was secured through Darley, a prominent distributor of equipment and technology for first responders and the military, and coordinated for procurement by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) on behalf of CBP. Since its acquisition in September 2024, FlightWave has been integrated into Red Cat’s suite of low-cost, portable unmanned reconnaissance and precision strike systems. Additionally, FlightWave’s recent $1.9 million TACFI award will further enhance the capabilities of the Edge 130 Blue. Exciting times ahead for FlightWave and Red Cat!

    Last week, Partner Ryan Benitez moderated an insightful panel discussion at the Resilience Conference. Benitez facilitated the conversation “Innovate, Accelerate, Build: Working with Early Stage Startups,” featuring speakers from the Bundeswehr Cyber Innovation Hub, Starburst, and Scalewolf. This session provided invaluable guidance for startups seeking defense-specific funding, navigating regulatory complexities, and establishing strategic partnerships with industry leaders and government agencies.
