What they build

The product

Vanguard runs a data-labeling and AI red-teaming platform staffed by U.S. military veterans, who annotate EW/UAS imagery, supervise AI models in the loop, and red-team defense AI for vulnerabilities. Partners include DoD SkillBridge and ArmyPAYS for veteran intake.

Why it matters

The thesis

Quality, ITAR-clean training data is the bottleneck for U.S. defense AI. Vanguard pairs that need with veteran employment — a small but pure reindustrialization fit.
