That's a wrap on #AUSA2026
Three days at Booth 4328, countless conversations, and over and over we heard that the Army wants AI that works where soldiers actually are: at the edge, disconnected, and in their hands today.
Thank you to every operator, leader, partner, and friend who stopped by, and to the TurbineOne team who made it all happen.
The conversations don't stop here. Let's keep building.
Yesterday, our CEO @IanKalinT1 joined the Speed to Battlefield panel at the 2026 Australia–US Defence Industry Dialogue, hosted at @AusintheUS in Washington, D.C.
The discussion focused on how emerging defence companies are moving from prototype to procurement faster, and what that means for the evolving U.S. defence innovation ecosystem.
A fast prototype isn’t fast if integration and transition become the next bottlenecks. For software, AI, and autonomy, fielding isn’t the finish line. Threats keep changing, and capabilities have to keep pace.
Thank you to @sultanofcyber for moderating, and to fellow panelists Guy Yelverton III, Roy Stevens of @LeidosInc, and Joseph Troutman of @ForgeNano.
Thank you @AusintheUS for welcoming the defence industry community to Washington 🇦🇺
The TurbineOne team joined last night's Defence Industry Welcome Reception with @_aaausa and @DefenceAust.
Grateful for the Embassy's support as we grow our partnership with Australia.
Last day of #AUSA2026!
Thank you to our new and current partners for great conversations this week. There’s still time to stop by Booth 4328 for a demo and to meet the team. See you there!
More drones. More data. Find what matters.
TurbineOne's Frontline Perception has been approved for the @USArmy's UAS Marketplace Cleared Phase, with an approved IAP and verified NDAA compliance.
Frontline Perception uses AI to detect, classify, and track objects of interest across live UAS feeds, directly at the tactical edge, without relying on the cloud.
Built on a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), our software integrates with existing UAS platforms, turning massive volumes of sensor data into actionable intelligence without adding another proprietary system.
The Army has the sensors. We help make sense of the data.
That’s a wrap on SF @Techweek_!
Last Wednesday night, we opened up the doors for a happy hour with the people building the future of national security, and you packed the place. Founders, operators, investors, and defense leaders came together for drinks and the kind of conversations that start partnerships.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a great evening. Until next time, San Francisco.

We're supporting U.S. Army Next Generation Command and Control across the 25th Infantry Division and 4th Infantry Division, under our five-year, $98.9 million U.S. Army contract supporting Intelligence Enterprise modernization.
Our Principal of BD Justin Haynes spent 29 years as an Army intel officer. AI should handle the watching so warfighters have time to think, challenge assumptions, and decide.
TurbineOne has been selected to expand frontline AI across the @USMC.
Our new Basic Ordering Agreement creates a streamlined path to deploy our AI software across Marine Corps units and missions.

We've teamed up with Tactira for Land Forces 2026, they've joined us to showcase the Spectrum Advantage System, a new approach to understanding the operating environment through the electromagnetic spectrum.
Come by Stand No- L2-05 to see it in action, and hear how the two technologies work together to give operators a clearer picture of the battlespace.

TurbineOne is now a @HarvardHBS case study.
Huge thanks to @bussgang and James B. Seeing defense tech in the HBS curriculum is a milestone for our whole team, and for the industry.

Proud to share that @TurbineOneTech is now the subject of a @HarvardHBS case study. 🎓
"TurbineOne: Navigating Growth on the Front Lines," written by @bussgang and James Barnett, is being taught in Launching Technology Ventures, the HBS elective that has trained more than 2,500 founders and startup operators over fifteen years.
The case goes back to one of our earliest and hardest decisions. In 2022, we had our first major Defense contract within reach, but not the facility clearance to do the work directly. Take the fast path as a subcontractor under a prime, or hold out to own the customer relationship and risk the deal entirely?
It's a question every defense tech founder eventually faces, and one where the traditional startup playbook doesn't always hold up.
Thank you for telling our story and for having me. It's an honor to see TurbineOne's journey become part of how the next generation of founders learns to build.
