The Unfinished Weapon: Why Our Most Advanced Systems Fail Without Adaptable Software

This white paper lays out the brutal truth: static software is a liability.

In modern warfare, speed alone won’t win. Adaptability will.

Too often, we deploy systems that look advanced on paper but arrive to the mission unfinished—not for lack of effort, but because the software running them can’t evolve when it matters most.

Bryon Kroger’s new white paper, The Unfinished Weapon, lays out the brutal truth: static software is a liability. It explores how real-time threats demand real-time updates, and why continuous delivery isn’t just a DevOps concept—it’s a warfighting capability.

This is not a call for more policy memos or process reform. It’s a call to build mission-integrated teams that ship secure, validated software directly to production—and to do it continuously.

You’ll learn:

  • Why velocity without adaptability creates fragility in conflict
  • How continuous delivery actually reduces operational risk
  • What it takes to build teams that don’t just ship code—but own the outcome
  • How to measure mission success in lives saved, hours returned, and capabilities delivered ahead of need

We can’t afford to ship unfinished weapons.

Find out what it takes to deliver software that adapts at the speed of the mission.
