Intellisense Systems, Inc. has been awarded an AFWERX Strategic and Tactical Funding Increase (STRATFI/TACFI) contract by the United States Air Force to further advance its Integrated Weather Observation System (IWOS®). Addressing the most pressing weather challenges for the Department of the Air Force, the IWOS consolidates over a dozen key weather parameter sensors into a single, ruggedized, and innovative interlocking cylindrical design. A smaller, man-portable, tactical meteorological observing system (TMOS), the IWOS design enables end users to customize the system and monitor the exact weather parameters they need.  🔗 Find out more >> https://hubs.la/Q02xJHPk0 “The IWOS will soon be the most widely used tactical weather station for the Air Force. It supplies warfighters with a ruggedized, high-fidelity weather sensing solution in an innovative, small form-factor package.” - Christian Veeris, Vice-President of Corporate Business Development at Intellisense Systems.

#ModernCEO gets gritty! For this week's newsletter, I spoke with Toni Townes-Whitley, CEO of SAIC about "gritty tech," which describes what SAIC does but also encapsulates the company's agile, get-it-done approach to tech. At a time when leaders need to communicate purpose to employees and prospects, Townes-Whitley offers a case study in how to get your team engaged. Please check out this week's #modernCEO and let us know how you communicate #purpose. https://lnkd.in/eRP2sz93

From Matthew Kroenig, Vice President and Senior Director of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, and Imran Bayoumi an associate director with the Scowcroft Strategy Initiative in the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security. "The United States and its allies need a new strategy to protect against the threats posed by Chinese drones, strengthen their position in the international UAS market, and assert global leadership in this key twenty-first-century technology. To help the United States and its allies win the new tech race, the Scowcroft Center previously published a three-part “promote, protect, and coordinate” strategy. This paper updates that framework, and applies it to the issue of dual-use drones. First, the United States and its allies should protect their countries from the national security threat posed by Chinese-made drones by prohibiting their use in sensitive areas, such as by the government and in critical infrastructure. Specific recommendations include the following. - The US Congress should pass the Countering CCP Drones Act and the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant (DIIG) Act. - The US Congress should pass legislation to make US state-level bans effective and actionable by offering federal-government support for their implementation, including through targeted grant programs accelerating the transition to secure and capable systems. - The US State Department should, in light of increasing global restrictions on People’s Republic of China (PRC)-made drones, launch an initiative to educate allies and partners on the risks associated with those systems, and support secure and capable alternatives. - The US State Department should encourage allies and partners to enact tariffs and sanctions on PRC-made UAS to counter China’s unfair trade practices.
