"We are drowning in data:" Lt General Hale, the Deputy Chief of Staff G2. Today's data-heavy world presents an enormous opportunity – “if.” If, and only if, we move fast, understanding that the core objective isn’t just collecting more data—it’s making data operational so warfighters and decision-makers can use it, acting on the right insights at the right time. The good news: the Army has been actively modernizing its intelligence capabilities, applying AI to vast intelligence datasets to reduce cognitive overload, accelerate decision-making, and integrate multi-domain intelligence. The even better news? Congress is urging the Army to go even further: A new push for expanded OSINT collection and standardized acquisition mechanisms underscores the need. Today, Rhombus is uniquely positioned to fuse OSINT, AI, and human expertise into real-time decision advantage for the US and our allies.

The Trump Administration understands that the Indo-Pacific is the front line of our most pressing strategic competition; after all, in the first Trump term, they renamed the US Pacific Command to the “US Indo-Pacific Command,” and reformed the OSD office to group Indo-Pacific allies and partners into focused units, stressing both the challenges and the opportunities. Today, deterrence demands action. Winning the competition requires that we operationalize urgency, scale critical technologies, and drive innovation equal to the threats of today and tomorrow. That’s why senior Rhombus executives are on their way to attend the Honolulu Defense Forum this week to engage with leaders across US and partner governments. Our work focuses on rapidly integrating real-time intelligence with AI-enabled tools — strengthening our collective ability to outpace these threats. We look forward to engaging with defense leaders, allies, and innovators to advance actionable solutions.

Ecstatic to see President Trump’s inspired nomination of Troy Meink to lead the Air Force. We're hopeful that the Senate will act swiftly on his nomination. The Air Force’s embrace of AI-informed tools has been a success story across the national security enterprise – and the potential to go further, faster is exciting to all of us who want to be a part of America winning the global AI race while bolstering our national security. Dr. Meink is a superb pick for many reasons: with four decades in uniform going back to his days in ROTC, he currently serves as principal deputy director of the National Reconnaissance Office, and served as deputy under-secretary of the Air Force for Space. Most of all, he brings to his new post a warfighter’s heart with an engineer’s special expertise: a doctorate in philosophy in aeronautical and astronautical engineering! Our oldest friend Sam Araki would have been very proud of this nominee – “aim high, fly-fight-win!” ——— Anshuman Roy, Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Sarah Cowan, Abhishek Sharma, Tirthajyoti Sarkar, Bruce Frost, Roy Fatur, Ellen Chapin, PhD, Syed Faraz, David Wade, Kelly Morris

We were honored to welcome the Philippines’ Secretary of National Defense, Gilberto Teodoro, to our Palo Alto headquarters. This visit was an incomparable opportunity to learn about the Marcos Administration’s priorities, share more of Rhombus' capabilities, and explore pathways for collaboration with a vital American ally in the Pacific. The United States’ bilateral defense relationship with the Philippines is more critical than ever. Initiatives including the launch of the Combined Coordination Center underscore our common commitment to intelligence sharing and enhanced joint capabilities to address complex regional challenges. Peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific requires agility – and Rhombus is deeply invested in solutions at the speed of relevance to strengthen defense for all. A big thank you to Joe Felter and our partners at the Stanford Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation for helping make this visit possible! ——— Anshuman Roy, Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Sarah Cowan, Abhishek Sharma, Tirthajyoti Sarkar, Ellen Chapin, PhD, Syed Faraz, David Wade, Kelly Morris

For 116 years, the Naval Postgraduate School has helped empower our leaders to stay on the cutting edge of expertise— so it’s only fitting that NPS’ Emerging Technology Showcase next week in Monterey will shine a spotlight on the technologies defining the new Intelligence Age.  The Rhombus team is proud to collaborate with Naval Postgraduate School and the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation & Alumni Association for this event, and we're grateful for the way their focus on applied research is delivering transformative solutions for decisive U.S. seapower and national defense 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦. The collaborative ecosystem that NPS fosters between the military, academia, and industry is more important than ever –  for companies, entrepreneurs, student researchers and faculty alike.  If you’re around next week, please swing by—we look forward  to sharing a peek at the future which has already arrived. ———— Anshuman Roy, Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Sarah Cowan, Abhishek Sharma, Tirthajyoti Sarkar, Ellen Chapin, PhD, Syed Faraz, David Wade, Kelly Morris, Todd Lyons

Our team enjoyed presenting at the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) as they hosted members of the Council on Foreign Relations earlier this month. Thank you to DIU for the invitation and to the CFR members for their insights and engaging dialogue. Our partnership with DIU goes back to its early beginnings, as neighbors at Moffett Field and as one of the first startups to knock on DIUx's door. We value this long standing relationship and, as always, look forward to continuing the conversation!

“Securing peace and expanding partnerships from our own defense industrial base to Allies and partners, specifically through NATO, is not simply an advantage. It is an absolute requirement in light of the challenges facing our Nation.” General Fenton, Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, opened with these remarks during last week’s NATO Edge conference in Tampa, where Rhombus was invited to engage with allied militaries and industry partners. In today’s world, the spectrum of conflict is broader, faster, and more unpredictable than ever before. Simultaneously, emerging technologies are accelerating the pace of change. As was on full display at the conference, our collective ability to adapt and thrive in this environment relies on partnerships and collaboration across government and industry— and the AI-empowered tools we build can be force multipliers for NATO’s shared goals, empowering leaders across the globe to act with clarity and confidence in an era of uncertainty. Thank you to NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) for hosting this wonderful event and creating the space for these important discussions. We’re looking forward to continuing to Connect, Innovate, and Elevate alongside like-minded partners here and abroad! ——— Anshuman Roy Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Sarah Cowan, Abhishek Sharma, Tirthajyoti Sarkar, Bruce Frost, Doug Woodall, Ellen Chapin, PhD, David Wade, Syed Faraz, Kelly Morris
