    How BSG Underbid Defense Primes by 90% Using AI | Justin Kelley | #4

    Justin Kelley, co-founder of Black Sheep Group (BSG), details how his team collapsed DoD signal classification timelines from 2-5 years to 24 hours while underbidding defense primes by 90%. This technical deep-dive covers the training data bottleneck in AI-driven signal intelligence, mixture-of-models architecture for edge deployment, GPS jamming mitigation strategies using cesium clocks, space-rated hardware certification delays, dark ship detection via RF leakage, and the transition from centralized NSA workflows to federated model deployment across forward-operating bases. Subject Matter Expert:Justin Kelley spent 20 years in RF and electronic warfare (USAF, USMC), joined Marine Corps boot camp at 38, and founded BSG to solve the AI training data gap. BSG has won DoD contracts by fusing traditional DSP with AI-native labeling pipelines and is launching a commercial "OpenAI for RF" platform in 2025-2026. About Space Terminal:Space Terminal is a 1:1 deep dive on frontier tech entrepreneurs (SpaceX, Axiom, Portal, Charter), government leaders (AFWERX, USSF, DARPA, DIU, ESA) and venture capital partners (Sequoia, a16z, Techstars Space).

    How Creative 3D Fabricates Semiconductors in a Box | Ethan Baehrend | #3

    Ethan Baehrend, Founder of Creative 3D Technologies, details the engineering reality behind decentralized semiconductor fabrication and single-cell manufacturing. This technical deep-dive covers the $300 billion low-volume chip production gap, self-healing robotics with nervous system architectures, cost-per-product economics, material science limitations, Arctic defense applications, and the transition from mass production monopolies to fab-in-a-box manufacturing at scale. Subject Matter Expert:Ethan Baehrend engineered the first ball screws designed specifically for 3D printing, spoke at the UN COP28 conference on decentralized manufacturing's climate impact, and won a CES Innovation Award. Creative 3D is launching live chip fabrication demos in 2026.
