On this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast, we continue our Season 14 focus on military embedded computing and networking, featuring keynote remarks from the 2026 AUSA Global Force Symposium and an interview with Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at Sealevel.

To open the episode, we share an excerpt from a keynote address Under Secretary of the Army Michael Obadal delivered at the 2026 AUSA Global Force Symposium in Huntsville. In this segment, he describes real‑world adoption of AI‑enabled tools and outlines one of five principles guiding technology integration, referencing the use of AI‑assisted systems in targeting system development and evaluation.

Sealevel designs and manufactures rugged embedded computing platforms and I/O solutions used in mission‑critical military and commercial applications, supporting aerospace and defense OEMs, systems integrators, and service organizations. The company recently published an article analyzing the Department of War’s 2026 AI Acceleration Strategy and its impact on customer requirements for modular, scalable embedded computing architectures — particularly as AI workloads drive higher demands for processing performance, data movement, and system integration at the edge.

During his interview, Baldwin discusses the impact of this strategy on companies that are designing and manufacturing AI-enabled embedded computing systems and networks.
