𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 When Tyler Johnson was a kid, his uncle would come back from research trips sunburned, exhausted, and carrying stories that lit up his youthful imagination … tales of scientific cruises, deep-ocean missions, even trips with the explorer who found the deep-sea wreckage of the Titanic, Dr. Robert Ballard. “I’d learn little snippets from dinner conversations and pictures and think, ‘Wow, that sounds really cool,’” he said. Those stories spoke to a kid who already felt at home on the water. Tyler grew up along the coast of Cape Cod, dreaming of what it might be like to turn that feeling into a career. To Tyler, his uncle wasn’t just going to work, he was going on fantastical adventures. Years later, that same uncle – part of the team behind the REMUS UUV at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute – invited Tyler to do a summer internship. It was the moment everything clicked and he completely fell in love with the field. Since then, Tyler’s career has taken him across the world and along the way he realized he had dipped his feet in nearly every major ocean. But what keeps him hooked isn’t just the travel, it’s the challenge. “The ocean is constantly changing. Even if you go to the same spot five days in a row, it’s different every time. It’s a unique and challenging environment. Not only do you have to keep electronics dry but there is immense pressure and minimal visibility,” he said. His first real engineering job at Woods Hole taught him how to meet that challenge. “I was doing acoustic system design, and my manager was good about setting a foundation: understand what you’re building, how to build it, and how to test it. When you’re the one designing the parts and the one putting it out into the field, you learn quickly where your mistakes are and how to think big picture,” Tyler said. Now, Tyler is bringing that systems mindset to Integer as an engineering manager, where he’s building an #OceanAcoustics research hub in our newest New Hampshire office. He finds the mission deeply personal.   “Our end goal is ultimately enhancing the capability of the Navy. That’s a big part of my identity; a lot of my family is Navy, and my brother is enlisted now,” he said. “What excites me most is getting research out of the lab and into the hands of the operators.” He smiles when he talks about the future, stating his next goal is to visit all the continents – he’s got four left. With two young kids at home, he knows it may take a while, but he can’t wait to show them the world, take them on the boat, and maybe spark the same curiosity that shaped his own life.

Looking forward to seeing our VP of Research Dylan Temple on stage next week at NH Tech Alliance’s NENS Conference 2026. Dylan will join Jennifer Miksis Olds, Interim VP of Research and Innovation at our partner University of New Hampshire, for a conversation on how collaborative R&D, cross-sector partnerships, and regional investments are accelerating defense tech innovation in the state. Integer’s Crystal M. Pee Bowman, Ph.D. and Tyler Johnson will also be on site. Feel free to DM them to connect during the event.

Today, we pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. President Ronald Reagan said: “All of us, as Americans, are joined in a common enterprise to write the story of freedom – the greatest adventure mankind has ever known, and one we must pass on to our children and our children’s children – remembering that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” That story has been written by generations of Americans who chose duty over self, service over comfort, and sacrifice for a future they would never see. This Memorial Day, we remember them, and remain committed to a future worthy of their sacrifice.

Today on National Maritime Day, we recognize the people and systems that keep America operating across the maritime domain. This strength is a core part of national security and global stability, showing up in readiness at sea, deterrence, and the resilience of the forces and infrastructure that operate around the world. We’re especially grateful for the sailors, mariners, shipbuilders, engineers, and operators whose work keeps ships at sea, systems operating, and missions moving. Happy #NationalMaritimeDay! 

Integer is continuing to build partnerships that advance adaptive mission assurance at sea – from long-range multi-vehicle undersea operations with Cellula Robotics Ltd. to expanded work with Metron Inc. to strengthen #UUV operations for the Navy. Our CSO Aaron Wagner and BD Manager David Pearson are at SOF Week. If you’re there, DM them. We’d welcome a conversation on how our mission assurance software ensures that U.S. forces possess the information dominance required to #PredictPreemptPrevail against threats and win the next conflict.

Integer and Cellula Robotics Ltd. have signed an MOU to advance adaptive mission assurance for long-range multi-vehicle undersea operations. The partnership will explore how our DIGIT COMMAND operator software can integrate with Cellula’s Nexus mission control software for advanced #UUV platforms – supporting enhanced operator awareness, adaptive tasking, and mission confidence in communications-constrained environments.  “𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘭𝘢’𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘋𝘐𝘎𝘐𝘛 𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘕𝘋’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.

Big primes grab the headlines, but the innovative upstarts are pushing the defense industry forward. Small businesses often possess the exact agility and technology that the DOW needs today but often fall victim of the Valley of Death. Duke Hartman, P.E. chatted with Inc. Magazine about how Integer is bridging the gap between high-level innovation and practical defense solutions. https://lnkd.in/gcvZjqB7
