🇺🇸 The U.S. Army just ran a massive hackathon called Operation Jailbreak.
Engineers from Boeing, Palantir, Anduril and others flew to Fort Carson to solve something that has plagued the army for years: American weapons can't talk to each other.
In days, five companies built a machine-gun robot networked into drones and counter-drones, controlled from a single screen.
The Army Secretary wants solutions deployed to CENTCOM within 30 days to counter Iranian drones.
It only took a war, a hackathon, and probably tons of energy drinks to get there.
