The second quarter was one of execution. The awards we announced in the first quarter tied to National Special Security Events moved from contract to deployment, and our platform served as the intelligence layer unifying disparate sensors and imaging systems in live operational use, including unmanned aircraft and counter-UAS support for multiple DHS agencies during the FIFA World Cup and America 250th celebrations. Successfully operating at that scale during events of that size and criticality is a different proof point than an award announcement, also being the point our customers weigh most heavily when they evaluate us for future requirements. We also placed the first deployment of our new vehicle-based edge solution, Outpost AI Sentinel, which delivers 360-degree situational awareness around a moving vehicle while recognizing and classifying objects of interest defined by the customer. This extends our edge platform into mobile operational environments and opens requirements that fixed-site deployments cannot address. On procurement, the picture through the quarter was substantially as we described in May. Award activity remained constrained through most of the quarter, and we took advantage of that period to work alongside customers to finalize requirements and align them to agency prioritization goals so they would be ready to move once funding was in place. Funding for the remaining DHS components, namely U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including Homeland Security Investigations, and Customs and Border Protection’s border security programs was enacted in June under the Secure America Act, consistent with the timeframe we outlined last quarter. Importantly, that funding extends through fiscal year 2029 rather than the current fiscal year alone, which gives these customers multi-year planning certainty for the technology investments our platform supports. OB3 funding also runs through September 30, 2029, the same horizon as the June appropriations act. Because award execution follows funding availability via a normal procurement interval, the requirements we developed during the quarter are now moving through contracting rather than waiting on appropriations. Our partner strategy advanced from interest to enablement during the quarter. Building on the integrator relationships established at ISC-West, we attended additional partner events and completed technical and sales training with selected integrators operating in the verticals we have targeted. That training produced immediate results: beyond uncovering new opportunities, these integrators moved active pursuits from incumbent competitive platforms to Airship AI as the lead offering based on differentiation they were able to demonstrate directly to their customers. We enter the final quarter of the federal fiscal year in a materially different position than we entered the second. The funding constraint is resolved, requirements are defined, and our partner channel is trained and in front of customers. What we said would need to happen has happened. Our focus now is straightforward: convert the requirements we have spent this year developing into awards and deliver against them with the same operational execution we demonstrated this quarter.
