Before speed, scale, or impact comes the foundation. Engineers writing their own agents and tools form that foundation, enabling teams to deploy rapidly, iterate quickly, and turn diverse data into actionable insights. #AI #TechLeadership #RapidIteration #SystemsEngineering

Decades apart, united in purpose. This Veterans Day, we recognize the range of service among the veterans at Vannevar Labs. Matthew Ross (1988) and Mike Duhaime (2021) represent the full span of our team’s experience, bringing lessons that shape our mission every day. Thank you to every veteran for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued impact. Read more about Matthew and Mike, here: https://lnkd.in/e2hsCYAK

In 1950, NSC-68 captured decisions vital to preserving U.S. strategic advantage. The top-secret report warned of a global Soviet threat and urged swift, sustained action to avoid defeat. The lesson endures: national security relies on clear, informed decisions under pressure. At Vannevar Labs, we uphold that principle by giving operators and decision-makers the insights they need to act decisively.

Designing AI that works alongside humans means letting warfighters focus on the critical decisions only they can make in high stakes environments. Our three core principles of agentic UX create reliable, actionable systems for high stakes environments. 1️⃣ Embedded in workflow; agents work where the task happens. 2️⃣ Transparent and traceable; every action is visible. 3️⃣ User in control; warfighters stay in charge. Design for the warfighter. Join the mission: https://lnkd.in/gZsvR39H

Design proves itself in contact, not in demos. We are designing software that reasons, adapts, and acts alongside the operator because milliseconds and misreads matter. Our focus is on designing interaction, not just automation, crafting interfaces that think with the user, anticipate intent, and surface insight at the moment it is needed most. This design philosophy transforms efficiency into advantage, freeing users to focus on high order decisions that shape real world missions. That is why our design approach to agentic UX centers on three principles: 1️⃣ Embed agents where the work happens. 2️⃣ Make contributions transparent and traceable. 3️⃣ Keep outputs action oriented. Agents that think, act, and adapt alongside humans will define the next generation of defense systems and we’re designing them now.

We were proud to participate in INFOPAC 2025, collaborating with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and allied partners in advancing credible deterrence. At the symposium, we engaged with military leaders and information practitioners to demonstrate how ARCHER uses advanced analytics and agentic AI to accelerate decisions, strengthen deterrence, and enhance operations across the Indo-Pacific. ARCHER supports strategic deterrence through: 1️⃣ High Value Asset Perception Management 2️⃣ Campaign Decision Support 3️⃣ Information Environment Visualization #INFOPAC25 #INDOPACOM #DefenseInnovation #DepartmentofWar Federal Business Council (FBC) | Association of Old Crows

Tomorrow, our Head of Interagency, Brian Katz, joins leaders from across government, academia, and industry at Stanford University for the 3rd Annual Stanford Conference on Tech + National Security. His session explores the intersection of defense technology and AI, alongside founders, investors, and operators shaping this critical space. Smack Technologies Inc. | Exia Labs | Scale AI Conference details in the comments.

We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help us build the software-defined sensing network to secure the seas from adversarial threats. This role is based in Seattle and we’re offering generous relocation assistance for top tier talent ready to make the move. You'll be part of a small, elite team turning data into strategic deterrence. If you're an action-oriented engineer that is excited about the national security mission, we'd love to talk. ⬇️ Application URL in the comments.

AI and Decision Dominance isn’t theoretical. It’s already shaping how our country will compete with China in the century ahead. Join us on October 22 at Stanford DEFCON as Brian Katz takes the stage to explore how AI can transform decision-making at speed and scale.

How do you build AI agents that reason like adversaries and reliably operate in the real world? Forward Deployed Engineer Erik Rozi breaks down our approach to developing and fielding agentic AI systems, from data ingestion to deployed deterrence effects. Tested during Exercise Talisman Sabre 25, these systems accurately simulated adversary behavior across gray zone and conventional scenarios. We are turning data into deterrence, but we need top technical talent to push our models further.
