Retired Colonel Ray Powell knows deeply the challenges facing the United States—and our friends and allies—in the Pacific, caused by China’s rise and its revisionist intentions. Ray’s 35-year career in the United States Air Force took him from the Philippines to service in diplomatic posts as the Air Attaché to Vietnam and the US/Defense Attaché to Australia. (Not to mention combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan) We’ve known Ray well through his groundbreaking work on the Philippines and the South China Sea through the Stanford Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Our Founder and CEO Anshuman Roy recently sat down with Ray Powell and James Carouso for an episode of Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific? and shared why maintaining decision advantage is so important for decision makers across the defense enterprise.

“What’s your quest?” It’s such an appropriate question from Trae Stephens and one he’s raised before. In the latest episode of The Defense Tech Underground Podcast, he details how builders in the defense tech space can evaluate whether they’re on a “good” or “bad” quest. We’re excited to continue sharing conversations like this through Rhombus’ partnership with the Stanford Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Check out this episode below, and follow the podcast so you don’t miss out on the rest! https://lnkd.in/emF8SaMH

Powerful story from DefenseScoop about how one Army General intends to use predictive AI for wargaming and ‘what-if’ scenarios— preparing decision makers for varied scenarios, risks, and outcomes. We've talked for a long time about the importance of leveraging predictive analytics -- table stakes for decision-advantage. Finding a path for the entire national security enterprise to tap into these resources is critical. And it’s not enough to simply focus on today’s threats. We must also focus on the probable threats of tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/eGxcgp29 — Dr. Anshuman Roy, Dr. Sangram Ganguly, Dr. Sarah Cowan, Abhishek, Tirthajyoti, Stan, Joe, HR, Syed, Ellen, David, Kelly
A month into his job looking into the future needs to improve the Army’s communications network, Maj. Gen. Patrick Ellis is interested in applying predictive tools for modeling data to improve commanders’ decisions, faster. Ellis began his role as director of the network cross-functional team in July, having most recently been deputy chief of staff, G-3, for Army Europe-Africa. He also previously served with the 7th Infantry Division in the Pacific and I Corps. He took over for Maj. Gen. Jeth Rey, who was nominated for a third star and to be the next deputy chief of staff, G6, of the Army. https://hubs.li/Q02LV6Yn0

With the lives of American troops on the line, every day, every minute, and every decision matters. It’s why Rhombus felt called to serve when the Pentagon sought greater predictive capability against a deadly, unpredictable, and asymmetric adversary. The Economist did a deep dive into this work – and its implications and applications going forward. Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/ed77ncMY

We live in an increasingly complicated world, where instability extends from Dhaka to Beirut. The Economist took a fascinating look back at the work Rhombus was privileged to drive, in partnership with the US national security enterprise, to predict adversary attacks in Afghanistan. Given the speed at which our world changes, new age tools like what Rhombus built in Raven Sentry are only more important to anticipating conflict – and ultimately saving lives, time, and shaping decision advantage on the battlefield and the Situation Room.

"We're changing the way National Security decisions get made, at scope and scale.” In case you missed it, tune in here to see our Founder and CEO, Dr. Anshuman Roy, interviewed by William Carter alongside fellow industry leaders from Google, Lockheed Martin, and Microsoft onstage at the Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP's Ash Carter Exchange. For Rhombus, this event was business - and personal! Late SecDef, Dr. Ash Carter, was the visionary behind the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the catalytic effect it's had bringing more innovators like Rhombus center stage in the national security enterprise. Ash was also a mentor to our teammates. This panel focused on things Ash deeply cared about: the relationship between private sector and government, challenges to driving innovation in national security, and the evolving nature of the defense industrial base. Catch the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e2tQr_qB Collaboration in national security is necessary— thanks SCSP and fellow panelists for promoting and participating in this vital dialogue. — Anshuman, Dr. Sangram, Sarah, Abhishek, Tirthajyoti, Stan, Joe, HR, Ylli, Ellen, Syed, Kelly,
