Tech7 wins $489m GSA contract for TRACE 2.0

The United States Department of War’s Trusted Capital Program was created for one reason: To keep adversarial influence out of America’s most critical technologies Mandated by the 2018 NDAA, Trusted Capital connects vetted investors with capability providers in 27 critical tech areas. Every capital provider undergoes rigorous vetting to keep adversarial influence out of the defense supply chain. Were there issues with the program? Sure. Just like the CMMC rollout, Trusted Capital isn’t perfect. But these are the rules of the game. Ignoring them can cost companies future contracts and credibility. That’s why we’re highlighting our partnership with Leonid Capital Partners, a DoD Trusted Capital provider. Their mission is aligned with the program’s intent: deliver fast, flexible financing to companies advancing the technologies that matter most for national security. The future of defense innovation will be shaped as much by a resillient capital strategy as by technology strategy. #DefenseTech #NatSec #TrustedCapital Christopher Lay James Parker Claire Carloss

Cross Domain is not a buzzword or a trend, it’s a necessity. Without secure movement of data between domains, mission tempo slows, allies can’t interoperate, and risk increases. Too often, Cross Domain solutions are rigid and limiting. 4Secure does things differently. Our software-led, hardware-reinforced approach gives defence organisations flexibility and control. We're scalable, sovereign, and proven in the most demanding environments. At DSEI UK we’ll be showing how this approach turns secure information-sharing into real operational advantage.

Two Six Technologies was recently awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the Provably Weird Network Deployment and Detection (PWND2) program. PWND2 focuses on developing the next generation of covert, hard-to-detect communication systems known as “weird networks.” Unlike traditional networks, weird networks are unconventional, stealthy, and designed to blend seamlessly into everyday civilian signals. They use hidden data channels to conceal activity, resist disruption from electronic warfare, and enable secure and deniable communications for sensitive military and intelligence missions. These systems are about protecting information and also about disguising the very fact that communication is happening at all. We’re proud to join fellow awardees RTX, STR, Stealth Software Technologies, Inc., and SRI on this cutting-edge effort. At Two Six, our mission is to deliver innovation with real-world impact, and PWND2 is an exciting opportunity to continue supporting the nation’s most critical defense and intelligence needs. https://lnkd.in/dPRXVsUK

The Council of Canadian Innovators is proud to welcome ANVIL and CEO Samuel Witherspoon to our growing network of scale-up technology companies. Based in Ottawa, ANVIL develops knowledge management tools for defence and national security. Its platform helps organizations work faster, make better decisions, and manage information with clarity and control. https://lnkd.in/e3FJeMHk

QAPP + CCDS-X protects banks, enterprises, and even defense systems — all in one unified platform. Most tools solve in silos, but this one bridges critical industries. When innovation secures both civilian and defense infrastructure, you’re not just creating a tool — you’re building a platform with global impact.

We’re pleased to share that Defended Solutions LLC, based in New York, is now officially registered with SAM.gov and has been assigned a UEI (Unique Entity Identifier). This enables us to: - Bid on US federal and DoD contracts as a prime or subcontractor - Work directly with US defence primes and government agencies on secure, high-trust projects - Offer our UK-developed solutions under a US entity, strengthening cross-border cooperation Our entity is now searchable in the federal contractor database, making it easier for US buyers and partners to connect with us. #SAMgov #UEI #USFederalContracting #DoD #DefenceTech

The SecDef is overhauling the acquisition requirements process. The memo lays out multiple JCIDS changes, a key provision is the “disestablishment” of JCIDS and also the JROC will stop validating component-level requirement documents.  https://lnkd.in/e4363acu

Counting down to #TCF2025, we look back at the 10th edition of the 𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦. 🔙 🗓️ This September, the conversation continues — with insights and debates on SEE6 contribution to Europe's security and competitiveness. Watch the video📽️ #TurningTheTables #29to29

With Software-Defined Defence, forces invest in capabilities that evolve continuously. A radar fielded today can detect entirely new threats tomorrow through software upgrades. The system gains value over time rather than losing it. 🎥 At DSEI 2025, Sven T. Heursch highlights how SDD transforms procurement from static equipment to enduring, adaptable capabilities. 🔗 Discover the extended interview on the HENSOLDT website at https://lnkd.in/eSK6J_bs #SoftwareDefinedDefence #DefenceProcurement #CapabilityDevelopment #DefenceIndustry #HENSOLDT
