Two years ago, Armada was just an idea—a bold vision to bridge the digital divide and ensure that no one is left behind from the advances in AI, no matter where they are on the planet. Today, we’re seeing that vision take shape at the new edge: Galleons are rolling off the production line in multiple form factors, bringing advanced compute and real-world AI to solve the hardest problems in the most disconnected environments. Commander Connect is managing thousands of Starlink terminals, drones, and other connected assets, deployed across more than 60 countries, delivering connectivity to industries and communities that need it most. Our technology is actively supporting the United States Military and its allies, allowing the warfighter to access a full range of capabilities in the most disconnected parts of the world while maximizing the U.S. government’s investments. But our work is far from over… The digital divide still looms large, and we’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible. This progress wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of the Armada - our team, who continue to push boundaries; our investors and advisors, who believed in us from day one; and our customers, who’ve trusted us to solve their most challenging problems. As we reflect on these first two years, we’re excited about our progress and more committed than ever to our mission. Thank you for all your continued support and joining us on our mission to bridge the digital divide! -Dan and Jon

Armada just wrapped up an incredible first full year in market, including major commitments across 60+ countries with leading Global 2000 enterprises and strategic partners like Starlink and Microsoft. It was a year filled with milestones - from @satyanadella featuring us in his Ignite keynote to deploying Galleons across the globe to aiding first responders in the recent hurricanes and fires. I am so proud of our team and grateful to our customers who are working daily to solve mission-critical problems at the edge. The demand for real-world AI that operates in remote, disconnected, and bandwidth-constrained environments is stronger than ever. Our solutions are now delivering impact across defense, energy, manufacturing, and telecom, and Commander Connect has scaled to manage thousands of Starlink terminals, drones, and other connected assets, making it the largest enterprise management platform for these connected assets in the world. To build on this momentum, I’m excited to welcome Tom Schmit as President of Worldwide Field Operations. Tom’s experience in scaling high-growth enterprise platforms will be a key driver as we take Armada to the next level. We worked together at AppDynamics, and I’ve come to know him as one of the best go-to-market leaders in the industry, as well as a great human being and a leader with whom I am proud to partner for the journey ahead. Welcome, Tom, to the Armada!

Excited to announce our collaboration with Aramco Digital and Microsoft to deploy the world’s first industrial distributed cloud! By combining Aramco Digital’s vision for AI-driven industrial transformation, Microsoft’s adaptive cloud, and Armada’s edge infrastructure, we’re enabling secure, high-performance computing at the edge—where real-time decisions are critical to drive efficiency, safety, and innovation. Thanks to our partners at Aramco Digital and Microsoft for making this possible. This is just the beginning, and we’re looking forward to scaling these capabilities together across the globe.

Honored to be here in Washington, D.C., for the inauguration of President Trump. This weekend, I had the opportunity to connect with fellow technology leaders who share a vision of innovation, growth, and promise for everyone. I look forward to working together to drive progress, create opportunities, and ensure that the future of our industry continues to benefit all Americans.

Anduril has selected Columbus, Ohio as the location of Arsenal-1, our first hyperscale manufacturing facility. We are investing nearly $1 billion of our own money and will bring more than 4,000 direct jobs in the largest single job-creation project in Ohio history. Arsenal-1 will redefine the scale and speed at which autonomous systems and weapons can be produced for the U.S. and its allies. This is a monumental step toward rebuilding America’s defense industrial base, strengthening its warfighting capabilities, and enhancing deterrence. Learn more at:

Devastated for everyone in LA, where I went to college, dated my wife, and have many friends. @armada_ai is here to help. ❤️
Armada is partnering with Starlink to support those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. In addition to Starlink’s offer for free kits and service for impacted agencies, organizations, and shelters, we’re offering 1 month of free Armada Connect—our platform designed to manage Starlink terminals and provide real-time insights into where additional connectivity is needed.
