When military jets needed an urgent software update, a technician flew from base to base to install it before pilots headed into combat. He couldn’t reach everyone in time.
One pilot’s aircraft already had Unified Defense Stack (UDS), so he could install the update himself. During the mission, the new software helped him spot a threat he otherwise would have missed. A few weeks later, he called our team to say it saved his life.
That’s the work Forbes puts in focus in its latest feature on Defense Unicorns.
Reporter Monica Hunter-Hart shares how Rob Slaughter, Jeff McCoy, and Andrew Greene founded the company after experiencing the military’s software bottlenecks firsthand. She covers the bootstrapped beginnings, the growth to a $1 billion valuation, and what it takes to deliver software to systems that never touch the open internet.
She also gets to know the people behind the mission and takes a look at our company culture, including our commitment to showcasing Doug everywhere we go.
We’re proud to see our Unicorns and Mission Heroes’ work get this spotlight.
