This was a highly advanced, state-of-the-art American drone shot down over Karbala! It was an upgraded MQ-9 model that the company Shift5 had worked on. The drone was upgraded at enormous expense and packed with numerous autonomous systems. Independently, it could not only counter electronic warfare jamming and GPS disruption, but it was also capable of intelligently relaying target coordinates to missile systems so they could instantly engage identified targets in real time. In fact, Iran has downed one of the very few remaining drones of this model, one that had also received a heavy, extensive upgrade. On its own, this drone was more valuable and significant than a fourth-generation fighter jet, and its loss is a major blow to the United States. Yet the central question remains: how was this drone brought down, and what system managed to target it at this range?

Anduril 3 月 13 日拿到美國陸軍一份 10 年期企業合約,最高價值 200 億美元,把陸軍過去替 Anduril 開的 120 多個獨立採購案整合成單一框架。合作夥伴包括 Palantir、Microsoft、Govini、Shift5 和 Rune。 200 億是合約天花板,但這只是 Anduril 近期拿到的合約之一。 去年 2 月 Microsoft 主動把 220 億美元的 IVAS 軍用頭盔計畫轉交 Anduril。IVAS 是擴增實境頭盔,設計用來提升士兵戰場態勢感知,但 Microsoft 做了好幾年,士兵回報頭暈噁心,產品無法部署,陸軍去年 4 月批准合約移轉。 去年 7 月,陸軍次世代指揮控制系統 NGC2 競標,Anduril 拿到 9960 萬美元原型開發合約,Lockheed Martin 拿到 2600 萬。同一場競標,近四倍差距。 今年 3 月 12 日,海軍選中 Anduril 的 Dive-XL 超大型自主水下載具,全電動推進,可以潛航超過 2000 海里不浮出水面。 太空方面,Anduril 3 月 11 日收購太空監視公司 ExoAnalytic Solutions,營運超過 400 座地面望遠鏡追蹤衛星和飛彈軌跡,太空部門人數從 120 翻倍到 250 人。Anduril 已經拿到川普的 Golden Dome 飛彈防禦計畫中太空攔截器的早期開發合約,今年計畫自費發射 3 顆衛星。 數字攤開來看,光是陸軍企業合約和 IVAS 兩份天花板加起來就超過 420 億美元,再加上 NGC2、海軍自主潛艇、Golden Dome 太空佈局,Anduril 同時在陸地、海洋、太空都拿到重大合約。這家公司 2017 年成立,不到 9 年。目前正在募資,a16z 和 Thrive Capital 領投,目標估值 600 億美元,去年 6 月是 305 億,不到一年翻了將近一倍。 --- 📱 Threads / Facebook / 電子報「狐說八道」 #Anduril @PalmerLuckey #國防科技 #GoldenDome #IVAS #美國陸軍

Shift5’s Toby Magsig joined fellow defense tech CEOs for roundtables with Members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees. The warfighter can’t wait. Industry can move fast - but only when policy and procurement keep pace. These conversations exist to close that gap. As new technologies continue to mature and threats evolve, maintaining open dialogue between industry and the committees that shape defense policy is crucial. Shift5 is proud to be at the table, pushing for the speed the warfighter needs.

ICYMI, Shift5 joined @anduriltech' Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) effort, supporting the US Army's 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson. @tectonicdefense's @barratt_dewey covered the news, noting that for a program focused on integrating data, "having near real-time insights on the Army's vehicle health and telemetry is pretty important, and that's where Shift5 shines." As our President and Interim CEO Toby Magsig told Tectonic, this effort is about exposing "the data pulsing through our nation's warfighting systems" - and getting it to the right hands, fast. Our vehicle-agnostic platform collects, translates, and analyzes telemetry from onboard systems, feeding data through Anduril's Lattice Mesh so commanders have near real-time visibility into fleet readiness and sustainment - put to the test during Ivy Sting 4. We're honored to be on the team supporting the Army and the 4th ID. Read the full story here: tectonicdefense.com/shift5-j…

$PLTR Partner @anduriltech x @shift5co 🇺🇸🛡️🦾⬇️ Shift5 Partners with Anduril on Army's Next Generation Command and Control Initiative Feb 23, 2026 Operational Intelligence Platform Integrates with Lattice Mesh to Deliver Near Real-Time Vehicle Health Data for Enhanced Mission Readiness ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shift5, the Operational Intelligence platform for America's defense and transportation systems, today announced its role as a key partner in Anduril Industries' Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) effort for the U.S. Army. Within this initiative, Shift5's platform collects and translates vehicle health metrics from critical systems, operating agnostically across vehicle types and communication protocols. This data flows through Anduril's Lattice Mesh to situational awareness platforms and logistics applications, giving commanders real-time visibility into readiness and sustainment. "NGC2 is redefining how the Army maintains decision advantage over our adversaries, at pace and at scale," said Toby Magsig, President and Interim CEO of Shift5. "Our platform was built to provide unprecedented operational insights into our nation's warfighting systems, and we're honored to work alongside Anduril Industries, other trusted partners, and the 4th Infantry Division in developing and testing this capability for the warfighter." Shift5 integrated its capability into Lattice Mesh in just two months, enabling live demonstration during the Army's Ivy Sting 4 exercise earlier this month. "Shift5 brings deep expertise in vehicle telemetry," said Tom Keane, Senior Vice President at Anduril Industries. "What NGC2 does is make that data usable quickly and at the edge. At Ivy Sting 4, their vehicle health insights flowed through Anduril's Lattice Mesh and informed sustainment decisions in the field. That's exactly what we're building NGC2 to do." NGC2 is the Army's initiative to modernize command and control operations by integrating cutting-edge commercial technologies into a unified ecosystem. Anduril leads one of the NGC2 prototype efforts, partnering with Palantir, Striveworks, Govini, Rune Technologies, Instant Connect Enterprise, Research Innovations, Inc., and Microsoft as part of a $99.6 million Other Transaction Authority agreement. The Anduril-led effort is currently being tested and scaled by the Army's 4th Infantry Division through a series of experimentation events called Ivy Sting. About Shift5 Former military officers who stood up U.S. Army Cyber Command and pioneered modern weapons system cyber assessments founded Shift5 to transform untapped operational technology into actionable insights that enable peak performance and cyber resilience for America's defense and transportation systems. Built for the field and tested in the most demanding environments, Shift5's Operational Intelligence platform equips operations, maintenance, and cybersecurity teams with the infrastructure and analytics to detect threats, anticipate failures, and respond with confidence. Today, military customers and leading transportation companies rely on Shift5 for the safety, security, and reliability of current fleets and next-generation assets.

Shift5 is proud to partner with @anduriltech on the @USArmy's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) effort. At Shift5, we've always believed that operational data - and the insights derived from it - is the foundation for smarter, faster decisions on the battlefield. NGC2 puts that belief into practice. Our Operational Intelligence platform collects and translates critical metrics from military platforms, turning raw operational data into actionable insights. Integrating into Anduril’s Lattice Mesh, this data flows to situational awareness platforms and logistics applications, enabling commanders to make informed decisions about sustainment, readiness, and mission execution in near real time. An initiative of this scope requires rapid integration across partners. Anduril's engineering team and their commitment to speed made it possible to demonstrate live capability ahead of Ivy Sting 4. That kind of collaboration - moving fast without sacrificing quality - is what gives our warfighters the edge they need. The real value of NGC2 is bridging the gap between platform health and decision-making, giving commanders the information they need to keep warfighters mission-ready. shift5.io/insights/shift5-pa…

Well then, Welcome to the Swamp, indeed! Welcome The Hill’s annual list of Top Lobbyists. President Trump’s return to the White House brought a whirlwind of policy changes and political battles to Washington, D.C., creating both obstacles and opportunities for the lobbying world. Over the past year, K Street players have stared down rapidly evolving tariff regimes, sweeping tax changes, military conflicts, deregulation campaigns and upheaval in the federal workforce. Selected from more than 1,800 nominations this year alone, The Hill’s Top Lobbyists have made measurable impacts on the course of policy and politics, whether for corporations, small businesses, local governments, nonprofits, unions or trade associations. The lobbyists on this list represent the industry’s savviest, most influential and well-connected advocates across Capitol Hill. The honorees span veterans and up-and-comers, retired military officials and academics, former lawmakers and staffers, and are intended to reflect the wide ranges of experiences and backgrounds of the city’s most influential K Street forces.

$BAH earnings: Booz Allen’s Results Hit by Funding Delays, Forcing a Major Guidance Cut Booz Allen reported a challenging quarter, with significant declines in revenue and profit that fell well short of expectations set just three months ago. The results were driven by a persistent slowdown in government funding and a delayed recovery in its Civil business, forcing the company to issue a major reduction to its full-year guidance for revenue, EBITDA, and EPS. The bull case rests on a record $40 billion backlog and a very strong 1.7x quarterly book-to-bill ratio, suggesting underlying demand remains robust, particularly in the National Security segment. Aggressive share repurchases and a large, one-time tax benefit that is cushioning the free cash flow outlook also provide some support. However, the bear case is far more compelling this quarter. The operational deterioration is severe, highlighted by a sharp 9% year-over-year decline in total headcount. This signals the “temporary” disruption management spoke of last quarter is deeper and more prolonged than anticipated. The disconnect between strong bookings and weak revenue conversion is the central issue, and the guidance cut confirms these problems will not be resolved quickly. Themes, Drivers, and Concerns Themes from the Previous Quarter: How They Evolved 🟢 Strong Demand for High-End Technology: This theme continues to hold true. The company achieved a record Q2 backlog of $40B and an impressive 1.7x quarterly book-to-bill ratio. The challenge isn’t winning work; it’s getting that work funded and started. 🔴 Navigating Near-Term Disruption: The disruption proved to be much more severe than anticipated. Last quarter, management expected the full impact in Q2 with a recovery in the second half. This quarter’s results and the subsequent guidance cut show the environment has worsened, pushing out any meaningful recovery. 🟢 Accelerating VoLT & Tech Ecosystem Strategy: The company continues to invest in its technology strategy. The press release highlights demand for cyber, AI, and warfighting technologies, and the investor presentation notes a $3 million strategic investment in Shift5, demonstrating continued execution on this front. 🟢 Enhanced Financial Flexibility & Shareholder Returns: The company is actively using its financial flexibility. It deployed $208 million for share repurchases in the quarter and increased its buyback authorization by another $500 million. New and Evolving Drivers & Concerns 🔴 Deepening Funding Slowdown: This has moved from a concern to the primary driver of negative results. The CEO described a “bifurcated market” and “continued funding slowdown” as the key reasons for the poor performance. The issue is converting the massive backlog into revenue. 🔴 Significant Headcount Reduction: Total headcount fell to 32,500, a steep 9.2% decline from 35,800 a year ago. This is a major red flag, indicating the company is rightsizing for a prolonged period of slower activity and raising concerns about its ability to ramp up quickly when demand returns. 🔴 Delayed Civil Business Recovery: The expected stabilization and recovery in the Civil business has not materialized. The press release explicitly states the segment is “experiencing delayed recovery,” continuing to be a drag on overall performance. 🟢 National Security as a Bright Spot: In a difficult quarter, the National Security portfolio (Defense & Intel) showed resilience, with revenue up 4.8% YoY on an adjusted basis. This confirms the CEO’s “bifurcated market” comment, where mission-critical defense and intelligence spending remains a priority. 🟢 Large Tax Benefit Cushioning Cash Flow: A new and significant driver is a $235 million cash tax benefit expected in fiscal 2026 due to new legislation. This is the main reason the free cash flow guidance was only slightly reduced, masking the severe drop in operational earnings. Main Questions for the Earnings Call The 9% year-over-year headcount decline is substantial. Could you provide more detail on where these reductions occurred and whether further actions are planned? What is your strategy for retaining and re-hiring cleared technical talent when the funding environment improves? Your new guidance implies a significant deterioration in outlook since last quarter. What specific assumptions about the funding environment and the Civil business recovery have changed to warrant such a large reduction? There is a major disconnect between the 1.7x book-to-bill and declining revenue. Can you quantify the current lag between a contract win and revenue recognition and how that compares to historical norms? What visibility do you have on when the funded backlog will start to grow again?
