“We are at a critical point in history, given the importance of AI-powered autonomy to maintain our supremacy on the battlefield and protect our nation. I am honored to continue the work that my father started and lead Scientific Systems into the next stage of its growth as we develop the cutting-edge technology our military needs,” said Mehra.
