Meet Gamera, a new category of Group 5 strike and sensing UAS that we unveiled at @AFA_Air_Space's Air, Space & Cyber Conference today.
Mass-producible, significantly lower cost than legacy platforms, and the first UAS specifically designed to employ bomber-class strike munitions such as LRASM/JASSM-ER, Gamera delivers all of the capabilities needed in the next generation of UAS, at 10X lower cost-per-effect than legacy approaches to strike. With over 9,000 nautical miles of unrefueled range, Gamera's unique combination of low cost, large payload, and long range does not exist in any other UAS.
Since 2022, Swarm has been designing and building Gamera to provide the low-cost persistent strike and sensing that the @usairforce's Massed Modular Aircraft program is now seeking, making the force more capable, survivable, and effective, and renewing U.S. dominance of the skies.

The fact that a 22-year-old young man battling cancer, who ran 5,373 kilometres across Canada to bring awareness and hope to others, became one of Canada's most celebrated and beloved figures speaks volumes about who we are as a country. 🏃🇨🇦 #RunTerryRun
"The first time I saw him run, it was overwhelming."
Watch the new trailer for #RunTerryRun. See it in theatres October 9.

The story of the largest Series A in Canadian defence history is being told across the country and beyond.
We’re grateful for the interest in what Dominion's building and the approach we’re taking.
As @EliotPence told @business: “The ambition is to change the country. So it’s bigger than a company.”

RUBIO ZERLEGT MACRON❗️
„Ist Macron der Präsident von Europa?“
Macron masst sich an für ‚DIE EUROPÄER‘ zu sprechen.
Dieser Egoman hat Frankreich mit seiner Großmannssucht ruiniert und versucht jetzt Europa in die Abspaltung von Amerika zu treiben.
Macron ist kein Staatsmann – er ist ein Risiko für den Westen. Zeit, dass dieser Blender gestoppt wird.

Hong Kong’dan kalkan uçakta yan koltuğuna oturan Çinli kadını gören Japon yolcu, gördüklerine inanamadı.
Çünkü kadın, uçağa biner binmez ayaklarındaki ölü deriyi panik halinde soymaya başladı; kopan deri parçaları yere dökülürken, en sonunda aynı eliyle burnunu karıştırdı 🤢
Kapalı bir alanda yaşanan bu umursamaz davranış, izleyenler için adeta travma seviyesinde rahatsız ediciydi 🤮

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"
An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"
Kobe responds:
"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."
The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"
Kobe responds:
"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."
He explains with an analogy:
"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."
The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"
Kobe:
"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."
He concludes:
"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."

Modern conflicts are decided in the air. Swarm Aero is building a radically effective way to scale air power.
We're proud to share that we've raised $35 million in Series A funding, led by @TwoSigmaVC and @SilentVentures and joined by our seed investors @khoslaventures, @ScribbleVC, @friendsfamcap, @constructcap, @coatuemgmt, @foundersfund, @alumniventures, and @MaCVentureCap! This brings total capital raised to $59M to accelerate the deployment of our large UAV and the swarm software that enables drones to be controlled at scale.
While smaller drones pack smaller punches and require assistance to get to the fight, our large, multimission UAV can cover long distances and defeat high-value targets. Designed to manufacture at unprecedented volume and cooperate with superhuman dexterity, our UAV achieves asymmetric impact at dramatically lower cost than traditional aircraft.
The future world order depends on who controls air power. Swarm is building the technologies needed for deterrence and dominance in the 21st century. And we’re hiring!

Alysa Liu to Teen Vogue on doing hard things:
“I love pushing myself. There's this thing called the aMCC in your brain, and it's where you say willpower resides. I love doing stuff that I really don't want to do, really hard things. I get a kick out of it, and that's where I'm happy.”
