Military tech just like SV tech - everything is just an ugly functional boring black box. Maybe HBO should bring the Silicon Valley show back and position it in FL or DC to make fun of defense startups $coda

The @lightpathtech CEO congratulating @LockheedMartin on their NGSRI website isn’t subtle but IS much appreciated 😉 All signs point to the fact that @LockheedMartin has likely won the NGSRI contract given this new website and recent NGSRI related hiring listings. If so, look out for a $LPTH rerating. If won, @lightpathtech will become the @LockheedMartin supplier of the advanced thermal camera systems used to support the Army’s NGSRI missile program. If won, $LPTH likely to generate an additional $50-100m in long term revenue. @BussinBiotech has a great chronology thread on the NGSRI timeline here: x.com/BussinBiotech/…

.@PalmerLuckey says Anduril’s first prototype, a firefighting tank, now sits under a tarp because political reasons shut it down: “It could carry several tons of fire retardant and be used to protect critical infrastructure.” “We built two fully working prototypes.” “There were really strong unions that didn’t want robots to automate their jobs.” “The governor was told if they funded this and procured it, the union would oppose him in the upcoming election.”




SpaceX will be one of the most important IPOs of my lifetime. Yes the valuation is aggressive but few companies sit directly across three massive themes at the same time in space infrastructure, global connectivity & AI compute. Three trillion-dollar themes under one ticker.
