Whoa! I'm back from the dead! After being hacked, then apparently account getting deleted, I'm back! What'd I miss?

Over the last month, Seasats has booked more than $24 million in new orders in support of U.S. national security customers. The orders span USV procurement and Robot-as-a-Service contracts, and include Lightfish for delivery to the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. They come from a range of U.S. Government customers and mission sets, reflecting growing demand for small, long-endurance USVs across a broad base of military users. This milestone marks a significant acceleration in our growth and our role as an increasingly trusted provider of operational autonomous maritime capability to the U.S. Government.

Seasats CEO Mike Flanigan joined @MTSlive to discuss how unmanned surface vessels have fundamentally changed the cost equation for maritime missions. Twenty years ago, those missions depended on crewed ships, manned aircraft, and expensive satellite coverage. Today, Seasats’ Lightfish can conduct the same mission at a fraction of the cost and persist on station far longer than any aircraft can remain aloft.

Introducing Atlas We're building motion systems for drones, robots, and autonomous machines. Our work is in service of our customers who work factory floors, tend farmland, move medicine, and defend our country. Atlas is built to supply them quickly, and supply them in volume. Their progress should no longer be held back by a motor or actuator.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Happy Father’s Day. The older I get, the more I realize that some of the most important work in life is simply showing up, over and over again, for the people who matter most.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor. The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers. Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward. Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos. As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.” Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress. Time to choose your side.
