Today on 60 Minutes: why Ukraine is reshaping the future of defence innovation featuring our investor UA1 vc . Ukraine is not just a theatre of war. It has become the world’s most dynamic defence innovation ecosystem where technologies are tested, iterated and improved in real time against a near-peer adversary. The conflict is reshaping how capital, capability and industrial capacity are deployed at scale. This is precisely the environment that has informed our approach. Through GRAIL, we are building the infrastructure to translate frontline insight into industrial output connecting governments, innovators and manufacturers into a single, sovereign-by-design ecosystem. The objective is simple: shorten the cycle between learning and deployment to ensure that capability keeps pace with the threat. UA1’s presence in this conversation reflects a broader reality: the future of defence will be shaped not only by governments but by investors willing to engage directly with the technologies, supply chains and operational lessons emerging from the frontline. This is Defence 3.0 in practice - where innovation is continuous, production is scalable and advantage is measured in speed. https://lnkd.in/eTxzUzcE #Defence #Innovation #Ukraine #GRAIL #DefenceIndustry #NationalSecurity

We are pleased to welcome Gen. Paul E. Funk II (Ret) to our Advisory Board. A retired four-star U.S. Army General with more than four decades of operational leadership, General Funk has commanded at every level from company to corps and most recently led U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, shaping how over half a million soldiers are trained and prepared for modern conflict. His experience spans the evolution of doctrine, force design and coalition operations across multiple theatres from Desert Storm to Operation Inherent Resolve where he led a 72-nation coalition in Iraq and Syria. At a time when the defining challenge in defence is no longer just innovation but the ability to connect innovation, production and operational demand his perspective is invaluable. As General Funk notes: modern conflict is defined by how quickly forces can adapt, learn and deliver capability where it is needed most. This is exactly the problem we are solving. Through GRAIL, our AI-enabled ecosystem, we are linking the frontline directly to the factory accelerating how capability is sourced, integrated and delivered across allied supply chains. We are proud to have General Funk join us as we continue to build the infrastructure for Defence 3.0 where speed, scale and operational relevance define advantage.

From Ukraine to the Middle East, the lesson is clear: the decisive advantage now belongs to those who can adapt, iterate and deliver faster than their adversaries. When innovation cycles on the battlefield move in weeks, systems that take years to contract and deploy risk falling dangerously behind. The future of defence requires a fundamental shift: From static procurement → to real-time, competitive ecosystems From a handful of primes → to connected networks of innovators and manufacturers From exquisite platforms → to scalable, cost-effective capability at speed This is the thinking behind our AI enabled platform GRAIL. By connecting the frontline directly to the factory, GRAIL enables governments and allies to discover, integrate and deliver capability at the pace modern conflict demands. Because in today’s battles, deterrence is no longer just about what you have, it’s about how fast you can evolve it.

Modern conflict is rewriting the rules of munitions. Speed matters. Scale matters. And legacy systems are struggling to keep up. Today Tiberius Aerospace is at the 2026 Munitions Executive Summit in Parsippany, New Jersey joining leaders across government, industry and the armed forces to address this new reality. We’ll be showcasing Sceptre - a next-generation 155mm ramjet, precision-guided munition built for modern warfare. Mach 3.5. 65,000+ feet. 150km+ range. Designed to operate beyond traditional constraints and deliver where it matters. Because in today’s battlefield, advantage belongs to those who can deliver capability faster, further and at scale.

The numbers tell the story and they should concern every defence planner: In the words of Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine “America produces 60–65 missiles per month… about 700–800 per year. And on the first day in the Middle East war, 803 missiles were used.” One day of conflict consumed an entire year of production. This is the reality of modern warfare: consumption is outpacing production and procurement systems are struggling to keep up. From Ukraine to the Middle East, low-cost, high-volume systems are reshaping the battlefield faster than traditional models can respond. The challenge is no longer just innovation. It’s speed, scale, and connection between frontline demand and industrial supply. This is where GRAIL comes in. GRAIL connects the frontline directly to the factory accelerating how capability is sourced, integrated and delivered across allied ecosystems. Because in today’s conflicts, the decisive advantage belongs to those who can adapt and deliver fastest, not just those who can build the most advanced systems. https://lnkd.in/eFFf9YJV #DefenceInnovation #GRAIL #Procurement #IndustrialBase #Ukraine #DefenceTech
