@TurbineOneTech is at #DSEI2025 this week! Stop by Booth S4-167 in the USA Pavilion to learn more about our AI intelligence, autonomy, and security capabilities at the edge.

@JohnCornyn @JohnCornyn We'd be honored to have you inspect our product in the field with active-duty warfighters! Invite is open.

American soldiers are starting to carry artificial intelligence in their pockets and rucksacks, the result of a $98.9 million contract between the U.S. Army and a San Francisco startup wsj.com/tech/ai/us-mil… via @WSJ

"The TurbineOne deal marks one of the quickest paths—just shy of four years—for a software startup to secure a long-term contract with the Pentagon." @TurbineOneTech partners with the US Army under a new $99M IDIQ contract to bring AI directly to the frontlines. Congrats @IanJKalin and the rest of the T1 team on this well-deserved recognition 👏 wsj.com/tech/ai/us-mil…

The @USArmy is partnering with @TurbineOneTech on a 5-year, $99M IDIQ to deliver AI at the edge. Our Frontline Perception System software enables Soldiers build and deploy AI models in the field—faster, smarter decisions where they matter most. This award builds off previous contracts with the DoD and a success memo from @DIU_x. The work ahead is critical — and we’re ready to get started.

Traditional ML labeling and detection takes too long for operators in high-stakes missions. With TurbineOne’s new zero-shot detection capability, an operator can now: -Label just one or a few examples of a target. -Click “Find more” to generate dozens of accurate labels automatically. -Apply that new model immediately to fresh satellite or FMV imagery. This means warfighters can build custom, mission-specific detection models in minutes—not months—and put them straight to work on live intelligence feeds. This is the future of adaptable AI at the tactical edge. Learn more: linkedin.com/posts/activity…

At Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, manual surveillance and paper-based tracking left critical gaps in force protection. By partnering with @DIU_x and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, TurbineOne deployed the Frontline Perception System (FPS) to change that: -AI-powered digital perimeter & automated threat detection -No-code model training by operators in the field -Unified sensor fusion across legacy and new systems Impact: ✅ Stronger security and mission assurance ✅ Digital perimeter at <1/100th the cost of fencing ✅ Hundreds of hours saved in asset tracking Read more below ⬇️ linkedin.com/pulse/case-stu…
