The F-35's presence in Florida is growing. ⚡
Homestead Air Reserve Base was recently selected as the preferred location to host 24 F-35As as part of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command's modernization efforts.
Last week at the F-35 Lightning II Cockpit Demonstrator Event in Miami, we got to hear from U.S. Rep. Carlos Gimenez, Florida Lt. Governor Jay Collins, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics President OJ Sanchez and other leaders about what the F-35's continued presence could mean for Florida and the national defense mission.
As a supplier to the program, ITI has seen firsthand how the F-35 creates opportunities for businesses and supports highly skilled jobs across the state. We're proud to contribute to that mission by providing ground-based systems that support aircraft maintenance, mission planning and readiness for our warfighters.
We're proud to have signed this MOU with @KIHOMAC at the Farnborough International Airshow.
Together, we're advancing deployable, digital sustainment solutions and mission support capabilities that help warfighters operate with greater flexibility, readiness, and confidence.
Thank you to the KIHOMAC team. We're excited to see where this effort leads.
ITI Engineering and @KIHOMAC have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support forward sustainment and Agile Combat Employment (ACE) for F-35 operators.
The agreement brings together ITI's deployable ODIN hardware with KIHOMAC's airworthiness-certified MXU-1072/A Advanced Travel Pod to support concepts such as the F-35 Forward Sustainment Kit and missionized pod configurations for austere and forward operating environments.
For ATG, this reflects the value of focused collaboration: connecting specialized technologies and experienced teams to help move mission capability closer to the tactical edge.

Yesterday, we asked how long it took to get from the first AI concept to ChatGPT.
The answer? 72 years.
In 1950, Alan Turing proposed his famous test for machine intelligence. ChatGPT launched in 2022. But what makes that number really interesting is that it wasn't 72 years of steady progress. The field was frozen twice.
The first AI winter began in the late 1960s after researchers discovered significant limitations in early neural networks. Funding dried up, and many believed the promise of AI had been overstated.
The real turning point came in 2012, when a team at the University of Toronto entered a neural network called AlexNet into an image recognition competition and won by a margin that shocked the field. The deep learning era had begun.
Twelve years later, generative AI tools entered the mainstream.
That's the story our team brought to the table this week. Understanding where technology comes from is part of understanding where it's going, and that kind of curiosity and continuous learning is something we value at ITI!
How long do you think it took to get from the first concept of artificial intelligence to ChatGPT?
Recently, the ITI engineering team hosted a Lunch & Learn tracing the full arc of AI and machine learning—from the earliest thought experiments on machine intelligence all the way to the large language models reshaping the world today.
The timeline might surprise you.
Drop your guess in the comments below. We'll reveal the answer tomorrow!
We recently had the privilege of hosting Lieutenant General Mike Loh (Ret.) and Major General Dk Carpenter (Ret.) at ITI Engineering.
Throughout their distinguished military careers, both leaders played critical roles supporting F-35 operations and sustainment. During their visit, they discussed the continued success of the F-35 program, its importance to national security, and the role industry partners like ITI play in supporting mission readiness.
As General Loh shared, "The data coming off the F-35 is like nothing else. It is changing the tactics, techniques, and procedures used across the operational Air Force and joint force."
At ITI Engineering, our team is proud to deliver the information, technology, and capabilities that help warfighters execute critical missions around the globe effectively and safely.
Thank you to General Loh, General Carpenter, and our consultants at ACG Partners for spending time with our team and reminding us that, as "civilian warfighters," our contributions to mission success begin long before an aircraft takes flight.
Often, we only hear bits and pieces about what our loved ones do each day as they head into work. It's not until you see the environment, meet the people, and learn more about the mission that the work truly comes to life.
This past weekend, ITI Engineering hosted our first ever Open House across our Central Florida facilities. Employees welcomed friends and family for breakfast, facility tours, great conversations, and a little fun along the way.
We had a strong turnout and appreciated the opportunity to share our workplace with the supporters behind our team. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the day!
