Modern Intelligence

We are thrilled to welcome Retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Hugh Wyman Howard III to Modern Intelligence as our Senior Advisor. Wyman is not just a leader—he’s a storyteller that enrolls high performing teams to consistently deliver non-linear outcomes to win. His ability to weave powerful narratives is what sets him apart and is the secret behind his transformative leadership. In every high-stakes scenario, whether commanding Naval Special Warfare Command, Special Operations Command Central, or leading the nation’s most elite special operations unit, Wyman has used the power of stories to galvanize teams and inspire decisive action. His approach is more than just command and control; it’s about connecting, engaging, and motivating people to be their absolute best! Wyman’s presence is unforgettable. After he leaves a room, his stories linger, igniting conversations and inspiring action. He brings a unique, bidirectional value to our team—not only translating the needs of warfighters into meaningful technology, but also conveying the impact of our solutions back to partners and stakeholders. This ensures we solve the right problems, delivering real value where it matters most. As we take our next steps in delivering cutting-edge AI solutions for the DoD, we are excited to have Wyman’s voice guiding our journey. His brilliance, energy, and unwavering commitment to excellence are exactly what we need to shape the future of defense technology. Welcome aboard, Wyman! We’re honored to have you on our team.

We are thrilled to welcome Mark Spahn as the new Operations Manager at Modern Intelligence! Mark joins us after an incredible 32-year career, retiring from the U.S. Navy as a CWO5—a rare and remarkable achievement! He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in electronics, combat systems, C5ISR, Navy shipboard and SOF operations. We're excited to have Mark on board and look forward to the impact he will make as we continue advancing AI/ML solutions for defense. Welcome to the team, Mark!

We are thrilled to have participated in T-REX 24-2, an event put on by Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and alongside the United States Department of Defense and leading industry partners at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. At the heart of our demonstration was CUTLASS, our maritime automated target recognition (ATR) software, integrated with Ocean Aero Inc's Triton USV platform, performing near-horizontal ATR against maritime targets. When platforms can’t speak the same language, CUTLASS steps in, automating the exchange and processing of real-time target data at the tactical edge and back to the JOC. This not only simplifies operations but significantly reduces the cognitive load on operators, allowing them to focus on decision-making when the stakes are high. By empowering operators to dominate the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act), CUTLASS reshapes how autonomous and crewed missions are conducted with models that require less data and the ability to quickly integrate across platforms. “The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemy’s.” — Napoleon Bonaparte A huge thanks to Under Secretary Heidi Shyu, the team from OUSD R&E, and the Indiana National Guard for organizing and running one of the best and most well-run events we’ve seen. We also extend our appreciation to the Ocean Aero Inc team for the opportunity to integrate CUTLASS on their Triton USV platform. We look forward to continued partnerships as we work hard to build the foundational AI for defense and push the boundaries of responsible AI. #TREX24 #T_REX24TWO #OUSDRE #RDER #USDoD #ModernIntelligence #CUTLASS #Maritime #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ATR #OODALoop #TritonUSV #OceanDrone #IndianaNationalGuard
