IN NEWS: Rivet Industries raises a $55M Series A round We spoke with David Marra (CEO, Rivet Industries) about what they're building: “We make face-worn computers for the half-billion workers the modern tech industry forgot – soldiers, linemen, factory crews, people in the harshest environments.” “Comfort is non-negotiable. If you’re wearing it for 10 hours or 72 hours on a mission, it has to fit.” “It must be fully rugged; shock proof, dust proof, water resistant, able to survive jackhammers and gunfire.” “And it has to be compliant. No bad-actor parts in the supply chain. Protection standards that hold up in factories and on battlefields.”

Even though The Bullfrog, Allen Control Systems's AI-powered machine gun, is designed to shoot down Group 1 and 2 drones, which are by far the most difficult to destroy, it can still damage Group 3 Iranian Shahed drones. "We are currently focused on being the best at shooting down Group 1 and Group 2 drones, which are absolutely the hardest drones to engage... That said, we can shoot down Group 1 drones that are very far away." - CEO Michael Wior "So if I can hit a 7-inch target on a Group 1 drone from very far away, I can hit very vulnerable parts of a [Group 3] Shahed at the same distance." "Lasers are pretty good at shooting down Group 3 drones, but you have to keep your laser on target for 5 to 15 seconds in order to damage the airframe." "So while we're not the ideal solution for engaging those larger targets, when they get closer and you need that last line of defense, we are absolutely a great solution for taking those out of the air."

Howie CEO austin petersmith told us building an AI secretary is harder than it looks. For a product like this, he said "you have to put a pretty bad product into market in order to get a good one." Last year, they worked with customers to understand the patterns and mapping out the mindset of an executive assistant. Now, that product is available to everyone.

We asked Blake resnick about market opportunities for US drones. "DJI is getting banned throughout the United States." "They have ~95% of the market along with Autel (another Chinese drone co), and can't sell into 10 US states." "This is generating a significant need for drone makers in the free world."

Cognition CEO Scott Wu on why fears about AI being “too costly to run” miss the point. “At some point it’s pretty obvious that the machines are cheap enough that making every lawyer 3x faster is just a no brainer.” “The future isn’t one where we turn the machines off because they’re too expensive. The real question is where the value capture comes in and that comes from solving specific use cases and building personalization that makes the product more powerful over time.”

I'm with EchoMav at the farm to get a hands-on look at the Monarch, a 3D-printed combat drone built to be printed in country, repaired fast, and deployed at scale. EchoMav walks through the engineering, the swappable radios and cameras, the payload options, and what makes this platform different from the expensive, hard-to-fix drones already in the field. I also became a test target... Trying to escape and evade Ukrainian drone pilots. Warfare is a whole new game. This is what it looks like up close. For more reviews, head over to the Vigilance Elite Patreon at the link below.

BRINC Drones CEO Blake Resnick says we need a "DJI of the West" - a drone manufacturer for the free world. "DJI controls 90% of the global drone market. The drone industry is a monopoly, owned by DJI. Autel is their nearest competitor. They're another Chinese drone manufacturer. They have about 5% of the market." "There's this huge need for a 'DJI of the West', or a leading drone manufacturer for the free world. That's the organization that we want to be."

Iran is brilliantly launching drones on short range flights across water making them incredibly hard to detect. The US is being forced to destroy cheap drones with weapons that are much more expensive and harder to replenish. The math is brutal.

With Until, they're trying to fix that: “In the near term, it’s about getting the organ to the patient as fast as possible, without having to charter a plane and fly a surgeon across the country."

The machines that power most American bowling alleys are beginning to break down, and repairmen who know how to fix them are increasingly rare. These machines, called A-2 pinsetters, were manufactured by Brunswick Corporation in the 1960s. They're highly complex, with thousands of moving parts. Because new parts for the pinsetters are increasingly hard to find, and there are fewer and fewer people with the expertise to repair the machines, bowling alleys are replacing them with string pin machines, which hang the pins from ropes. With these new machines, the pins no longer free-fall or get swept away between frames.

And that really just means there is going to be more inference.” “Every time we lower prices or optimize models to make it cheaper, four months later customers are spending more anyway.” “Inference prices will go down, but if the world is run by AI in 10 years, there is going to be a lot of inference. It better be cheap.”

"A generation of management teaching taught us CEOs should trust their people and get out of the way. But I don't think 'trust' and 'getting out of the way' are the same thing." Brian Chesky on how Founder Mode will become even more important with agentic AI: "Great leadership is presence, not absence." "Leadership is presence. You should actually be partnering with people. You should be on the field with them. If you're a calvalry general, you should be on a horse. You should be on the battlefield. You're not overseas just writing blueprints. You gotta be on the field with them, you gotta be leading by example." "Leadership is from the front, not the back." "I think AI is going to create the equivalent of an AI founder mode. Now you gotta be even more hands-on. I don't think in the era of AI, there should be any pure people managers. Because you're so close to the details and data. Everyone has the opportunity to be hands-on, and it's hard to imagine only managing people and not agents."

The US carried out a strike on Iran using drones that were copied from the Russian 'Gerani', which was taken from Ukraine, - retired colonel Steve Ganyard. 'The US observed Russia using similar drones with devastating effect in Ukraine. But the drones that Russia uses are purchased from Iran. The US never had anything like this before. These long-range disposable strike drones are highly accurate. The Pentagon received a sample - one of them was found in a field in Ukraine and reverse-engineered. It was copied. Thus, the drone that the US is now using to strike Iran is based on Iranian technology. The irony is that Iran is being destroyed by its own technology.' - SK

In analog, it’s still done by hand and we’re putting that to an end.”

These stainless-steel beads form a powder that is over six times finer than flour, meaning each particle is too small to see with the naked eye. Powders like this are the basic building material of a type of metal 3D printing called "laser powder bed fusion" or (PBF-LB). It works by spreading out a thin layer of metal powder and using a powerful laser to melt the powder together into a specific shape. Then the process continues by laying down a fresh layer of powder on top and repeating. Each layer is leveled off by a wiper. It’s like the way you might level off a cup of flour with the back of a knife. To make a good 3D-printed part, the powder must be spread in an even, consistent way. Now, thanks to NIST research, we can watch the powder spreading and study its behavior. This work will improve the consistency and quality of metal 3D printed parts.
