I truly enjoyed participating in the industry panel on the evolving landscape of the C-UAS market. The discussion covered where the market stands today, where it’s headed, and the technological and operational challenges that will shape its future. We exchanged perspectives on innovation, rapidly emerging threats, integration hurdles, and the path toward more effective, scalable counter-UAS solutions. Conversations like these are critical as our industry works to stay ahead of a dynamic and increasingly complex threat environment. A sincere thank you to our moderator, Tom Karako, for guiding a thoughtful and engaging discussion. And a shoutout to my fellow panelists - Tony L Dedmond Jr., John Stanfill, Bill Darne, and Jon Sysel, who are all doing phenomenal work across the C-UAS marketplace. It was an honor to share the stage with such knowledgeable leaders committed to advancing the mission.

California just passed the AI safety law we wish existed for social media in 2011. Governor Newsom signed SB 53, California’s first frontier-AI safety law. It doesn’t tell OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google what to build. It simply requires them to disclose safety incidents, report problems, and protect whistleblowers. That’s the lesson we missed with social media. In 2011, Facebook’s internal teams saw warning signs — from algorithmic manipulation to teen mental-health harms — but there was no framework to surface them until years later. By then, the damage was done. Today, AI poses similar risks: chatbots shaping behavior, data flowing invisibly, harms emerging only after tragedy. SB 53 creates the transparency infrastructure markets need to self-correct. The next step: Visibility into how AI is actually being used — in companies, classrooms, and homes. Because innovation doesn’t die from oversight; it dies from mistrust. California got the first half right. Now it’s on the rest of us to finish the job. What do you think? Does California’s bill go far enough? #AIsafety #aiobservability

🚀  IHMC + Conduit Venture Labs: Turning Research Breakthroughs into Real World Impact I’m thrilled to share a new partnership between IHMC (Institute for Human & Machine Cognition) and Conduit Venture Labs to help advance real-world commercial paths for IHMC’s world-leading research. IHMC has been at the forefront of work in embodied AI, human-machine teaming, robotics, and human performance for decades. The opportunity now is not just continued discovery — it’s ensuring these technologies make it out of the lab and into the world, where they can drive real impact across defense, industry, and everyday life. 💡 Why this matters We’re at a pivotal moment for U.S. innovation. Across several critical domains — from advanced manufacturing to physical AI — the U.S. is falling behind. At the same time, our research institutions remain among the strongest in the world. The gap isn’t invention– it's translation Translating research into commercial outcomes isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s essential infrastructure. Too many breakthroughs don't exit the lab or stall before reaching scale, leaving economic, strategic, and societal value on the table. This partnership brings a builder’s lens early — evaluating multiple commercialization pathways (licensing, venture creation, strategic alliances) to ensure IHMC's breakthroughs reach real markets for impact and scale, delivering measurable returns. Thanks to IHMC's Ken Ford, Founder and CEO emeritus & Morley Stone, CEO of IHMC, for their vision and leadership. I have been a huge fan ever since I met Ken and got introduced to the organization. 👏 🙌 Lets go!!! 🚀 🚀 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gHCZkFFM #Ai #PhysicalAI, #Robotics #DeepTech #Commercialization #Innovation #PhysicalAI #TechTransfer #VentureBuilding Amish P.

By Hanneke Weitering • Science & Technology Editor October 2, 2025 MightyFly has signed a $50 million deal with a California-based healthcare diagnostics firm to offer same-day deliveries of medical test kits using autonomous, hybrid-electric cargo freighters. Under the five-year contract, the delivery services will launch in California and Nevada before expanding nationwide.  Announcing the partnership on October 2, MightyFly noted that it represents one of the largest commercial agreements to introduce autonomous eVTOL aircraft into healthcare logistics operations. The partners intend to utilize MightyFly’s Cento aircraft to deliver test kits to major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, CVS, and Kroger, as well as other pharmacies, clinics, and educational institutions. Those customers can also use the aircraft to quickly ship tests off to laboratories for diagnostic testing. “Our mission is to provide efficient access to goods. In healthcare, that means enabling the most expeditious, accessible, and affordable care,” said MightyFly CEO Manal Habib. “With our Cento aircraft, we will deliver resilient, cost-efficient, and reliable expedited logistics at scale. With its 1,000-mile range and cargo capacities in the hundreds of items, our aircraft will transform expedited logistics and healthcare access.” According to MightyFly, the Cento cargo freighter will be able to deliver 100 pounds of payload up to three times faster than traditional delivery drones, traveling at a cruise speed of 150 mph. The company claims the aerial logistics service could lower operating costs by 70% compared to legacy logistics services that rely on airlines and ground transportation. MightyFly’s aircraft also reduces emissions by up to 64% compared to ground transportation and 92% compared to other small aircraft. “With this contract and the momentum of our recent achievements, MightyFly is leading the next stage of autonomous aerial logistics, moving beyond small drones to transporting large volumes of goods at scale,” Habib added. “This is just the beginning, and healthcare is the first step. Our hybrid eVTOL platform will redefine expedited logistics across retail, defense, manufacturing, and commercial supply chains worldwide.” MightyFly is developing a family of cargo drones with payloads ranging from 100 to 500 pounds. In addition to medical logistics, MightyFly has been evaluating military applications for its autonomous freighters in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force.
