Mile Two

Mile 2 at the 2025 NDIA Human Systems Conference | Our own Cognitive Systems Engineer Layla Akilan at the mic! She'll be presenting how Mile 2 is transforming the way humans and machines collaborate to determine the airworthiness of aircraft. Typically a costly, time-consuming, and complex challenge, our Airworthiness Assistant can help the DoD save time and money, while getting it right. Powered by Mile 2's RAG LLM, Morphy-AI, the Airworthiness Assistant is one way we're building the true future of human-machine teaming. This year's conference theme is: "Optimizing Total System Performance through Innovative Human Integration". That's what Mile 2 can do for you. #NDIA #airworthiness #hmt

Happy Mardi Gras! We celebrated Mardi Gras with some community and fun...and King Cake, fresh beignets, and homemade shoebox floats (congrats Kati Walker!). Some fun facts: -the colors purple, green, and gold represent justice, faith, and power -"Mardi Gras" means Fat Tuesday in French, and is the last day of feasting before the Christian fasting season of Lent -started in Europe, Mardi Gras came to the US with French settlers, and we associate Mardi Gras with New Orleans, though it's celebrated around the world Laissez les bons temps rouler! #MardiGras #FatTuesday #LetTheGoodTimesRoll

We're at the PEO Soldier Industry Summit. Our Director of BD Michael Hughes, MBA and Director of Product Development Tom Mitchell are talking about how Mile 2 is using AI/ML, Platform Engineering, Autonomy, and Human-Machine Teaming to support interoperability and lethality for the US Army. Stop by, say hello, and ask about our groundbreaking work. https://www.miletwo.us/ #usarmy #integration #autonomy

BLACK HISTORY MONTH | We're honoring achievements and contributions of a select few Black Americans throughout history, focusing especially on trailblazers in tech. 'Cause that's what we do! Amazing Black American impacting Cybersecurity: Meet Kellee James! Kellee James is the founder and CEO of Mercaris (acquired by Argus in 2023), a market data platform for organic and non-GMO agricultural commodities. A former Wall Street trader, James saw a need for greater transparency in the organic food supply chain and used her tech skills to create a solution. #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenInTech #Cybersecurity Research credit to Ren Estep--thanks!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH | We're honoring achievements and contributions of a select few Black Americans throughout history, focusing especially on trailblazers in tech. 'Cause that's what we do! Did you know? Dr. Mark Dean helped created the personal computer as we know it? A computer scientist and engineer, who holds three of IBM's original nine PC patents, Dr. Dean's work on the ISA bus allows for plug-in peripheral devices like disk drives and printers. This revolutionized the personal computer industry! #BlackHistoryMonth #TechInnovation #HiddenFigures (Research credit to our own Ren Estep--thanks Ren!)

Mile Two at HSI | Mile Two's own Amanda Walther and Layla Akilan will be unveiling Tech Gauge, our groundbreaking software solution that provides a standardized tool for technologists and program mangers to better develop new technologies and make critical acquisition decisions. For the first time ever, Tech Gauge lets users adopt the 'Human Readiness Level' method across services. It assesses these scores for a given technology, reports risk levels to stakeholders, and by leveraging the power of Mile Two's RAG LLMs and generative AI, lets users chat with ANSI compliant documents. Mile Two is perfecting the human and machine element, and changing the way we develop and acquire groundbreaking technology. We hope to see you at the Joint Human System Integration Symposium Workshop in Natick Massachusetts this Jan 22nd and 23rd. www.miletwo.us #humanmachine #ragllm #acquisition

Recently our own Cognitive Systems Engineer Layla Akilan and Director of Product Development Tom Mitchell attended the AIAA SciTech Forum, where they discussed how Mile Two advances human machine teaming to solve some of our client's most complex challenges in aerospace, defense, and digital capabilities. Wonderful to run into current customers and meet new ones, too! #aerospace #humanmachine #systemsengineering

THE BELT | Our recent Belt awardee, and totally fantastic Cognitive Systems Engineer, Leia Lyden, has passed it on to none other than Marisa Bigelow, a Mile2 Cognitive Systems Engineering Manager without compare. Saying of Marisa, "she has been incredibly important to my professional growth and has guided me over the past couple of years through several challenges.

PROMOTION 🎉 | We're thrilled to share that our awesome UX/UI Designer Jacqueline Scheid is now our newest -SENIOR UX/UI Designer-. There's not enough space here to summarize all of the reasons her peers and supervisors recommended this promotion, but suffice to say, it has to do with her being supremely capable around design, supporting customers, and showcasing our values. A few quotes from her fellow Crewbies: "Jackie is a stellar designer" "She makes a great role model for others" "She creates designs that are intuitive, creative, and functional" "Her live facilitation skills are some of the best I've seen at Mile2" "She is well respected and valued by the team of government clients and contractors" Congratulations Jackie!!
