The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Innovation Unit and the Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program are excited to announce three additions to the Ground Vehicle Autonomous Pathways (GVAP) project – Anduril Industries, Palantir Technologies, and Overland AI.

Anduril and Palantir each received 24-month Prototype Other Transaction (OT) agreements as “software system integrators” to develop DevSecOps pipelines and reference architectures on behalf of the RCV program. These capabilities will allow the Army to rapidly integrate cutting-edge autonomous capabilities and modular payloads into the RCV while also ensuring flexibility through a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).

Additionally, Overland AI has joined the GVAP project on a 24-month award to prototype autonomous navigation and mobility technology for the RCV. 

The GVAP project seeks to leverage commercial autonomous vehicle technology to improve the operational capabilities and reach of Army formations while simultaneously reducing risk to Soldiers by minimizing exposure to high-risk operations.

#DeepSurface is thrilled to announce our new Integration Partnership with Lansweeper!

Together we are pushing the boundaries of visibility– giving you a complete view of your assets AND where your #cybersecurity risk really exists.

With #Lansweeper Cloud or Hybrid, DeepSurface RiskAnalyzer gets the asset and #vulnerability data it needs to make sense of the mountains of data available to security teams through its unique automated approach to vulnerability prioritization based on attack chain modeling.  By adding DeepSurface RiskAnalyzer, Lansweeper users get enhanced security visibility and more focused #security / #remediation workflows by leveraging the data already present in Lansweeper.

Learn more on Lansweeper’s blog ( https://lnkd.in/dwZfSbmc ), our blog ( https://lnkd.in/dHEAdf2K ), or get started now by visiting the Lansweeper - DeepSurface Integration Page ( https://lnkd.in/dTnQv2Xn ).

Warning:  this is not your typical Equal Pay Day post. It is a day of dubious distinction, raising awareness to the date showing how far into the year the average woman must work to earn the same as the average man last year. 

I’m not a big fan of the day, tbh. It can be misleading to compare averages across all jobs, but worst of all it’s triggering for some. Like former Senator Phill Gramm who recently called the pay gap a “myth that won’t go away.” The gender pay gap, he wrote, “is the natural consequence of choices that men and women freely make.”

He’s not entirely wrong. It’s true that a portion of the pay gap is because of choices people make at work. Do I work overtime? Should I pursue this higher paying career? Do I want more time at home? And many more.

But he’s also not entirely right. At Syndio we can control for those factors, and let me assure you – in many instances, even after controlling for choice, gaps remain. We can identify the degree to which those gaps are because of gender.

I wonder if there is common ground here Sen. Gramm. We can agree that people doing different jobs making different choices should not be paid equally. (Which is not what the best employers around the globe seek, btw.) And you agree that no one should be paid differently because of gender. 

I’ve long respected the American Enterprise Institute, where Sen. Gramm is a senior fellow, so I’ll even go one further. The The Wall Street Journal piece also added that “men tend to choose higher-paying college majors and occupations” than women. But there is a growing body of research that suggests that statement may be framed wrong. Do men choose higher paying majors and jobs, or is it that when men flow into certain majors and jobs – pay in those fields go up? One of the most comprehensive studies of this phenomenon (looking at 50 years of labor data) suggests that as women take over male-dominated roles, pay drops. When men take over jobs previously held by women, pay rises. (If you’re still reading, links posted below!)

I would love to engage Sen. Gramm and the AEI on this topic, as I am sure there is common ground in the eradication of pay differences due solely because of gender.

Overland AI is looking for exceptional field engineers to join our team. A good part of the job is chasing these robots around in the dirt!

The ideal candidates have degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or something similar; a demonstrated track record of creative problem solving, design, and fabrication; experience with off-road vehicle maintenance and operations; and the temperament and good judgment necessary to maintain a culture of safety in sometimes stressful situations.

I will be honest: this job involves long hours in the field in all conditions, frequent travel to remote test locations, and lots of mud, dust, grease, and sweat. If that sounds good to you, visit the link: https://lnkd.in/gC6r6X7C
