✨ Cold Sky Tech, Inc. at the AOC International Symposium & Convention ✨ We were proud to attend this year’s AOC International Symposium & Convention, where our President, Kateryna Pavlenko, represented Cold Sky Tech, alongside our valued partners, Stealth RF. The event was an incredible opportunity to showcase our work, connect with industry leaders, and explore cutting-edge technologies. It was especially meaningful to engage with the Ukrainian delegation, including our trusted partners at INFOZAHYST, and to strengthen ties with old friends and collaborators. A special highlight was our collaboration with CellAntenna Wireless and Stealth RF in developing #CounterUAS solutions and expanding the #Dronelyzer product line, a testament to the innovative partnerships that drive our mission forward. We extend our deepest thanks to Dmytro Kulbachnyi, Michael Horvat, the Stealth RF team, and the CellAntenna Wireless team for their incredible support and contributions during the event. We left inspired, energized, and excited about the future of the industry. Here’s to continued innovation and meaningful partnerships! 🚀 #AOC #AOC2024 #ColdSkyTech #StealthRF #CellAntennaWireless #CounterUAS #Innovation #Technology #Dronelyzer #DroneDetection

The Defense Innovation Unit is expanding its energy portfolio to cover a new, third line of effort that’s designed to accelerate commercial battery technologies tailor-made for U.S. military purposes and improve the resilience of the associated domestic supply chain amid heightening competition with China, according to an official steering that work. “For better or worse, the [Defense Department] has never been very good at batteries. We do bespoke, one-off batteries, historically — and we’re trying to change that,” DIU’s energy portfolio director Andrew Higier told a small group of reporters last week. https://lnkd.in/e-U6X83D

While this may be well intended, large defense contractors may still claim that there are no small businesses capable of fulfilling certain contracts, which is often a tactic used to avoid federal regulations intended to encourage competition and innovation. It’s crucial that small businesses continue to challenge these narratives and demonstrate their value in meeting the complex and evolving needs of national defense.

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has put forth new legislation aimed at promoting more competition for the Pentagon’s cloud and artificial intelligence contracts. The Protecting AI and Cloud Competition in Defense Act, introduced by Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., strives for “meaningful regulation to limit Big Tech monopolies from elbowing out competitors in the AI and cloud computing markets,” according to a press release issued Thursday by Warren’s office. https://lnkd.in/ebynWkGW
