Scenes from our grand opening celebration at Hartford Municipal Airport this morning.
A big thank you to @RepFitzgerald and the many local elected officials, business leaders, airport officials, and everyone who joined us to celebrate Rownd's expansion in Wisconsin.
We're thrilled to put roots down in Richfield and build lasting relationships in the community.

We've been perfecting voice command with our drones over the past few weeks. Here's a look at the technology in action.

Great conversations with WisBusiness. Thanks for having us on the show!
🎙 “A warfighter might need to understand something #downrange, and they can put one of our #Rownd systems in the air and it will autonomously report back without any user inputs,” Rob Thelen said, launching its #AI #drone + a $10M @DeptofWar contract.

This is the future of warfare.
Today, Rownd is officially launching its autonomous drones out of stealth.
We build economical, attritable drones to defend the United States against foreign threats.
We've secured a $10 million contract with the @DeptofWar, as well as contracts with @AFSpecOpsCmd, @USSOCOM, and @usairforce BESPIN to out-iterate our enemies.
The more you fly and experiment, the better you get.
Another great day of flights in the books.
On Wednesday, the Rownd team successfully completed 7 flights at Maxwell Air Force Base.
This was also the first time that members of the @usairforce BESPIN team got to fly our drones.
I often get so caught up in the analysis and technology behind our drones.
Sometimes, you just have to fly.
13 flights later, and we’re off to a great start in Alabama.

The need for attritable and autonomous mass has never been greater. Wonderful conversations in our nation’s capital at @ycombinator’s The Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250.
Under Secretary of War Jules Hurst @DoWCFO - checking out what @9Mothers, @PerseusDefense, @usulhq & @RowndAI are up to, and where we're all going.
