2025 was a transformative year for OpsLab. We scaled our automation capabilities across dozens of new squadrons, brought our first generative AI features to production, and expanded our footprint beyond U.S. borders. More importantly, we learned something fundamental about what we're building - not from our own roadmap, but from watching how our customers actually use our systems.
In short, we're becoming a true mesh between these application layers, essentially, a more complete operating system for air operations. And as we look toward 2026, everything we're building will reflect that reality.
