Management Commentary

“The third quarter of 2025 presented a number of challenges as recent changes in the federal acquisition process under the new administration, along with the government shutdown, slowed the pace of planned contracting activity, particularly within the Department of Homeland Security,” said Paul Allen, President of Airship AI. “Despite these headwinds, we closed approximately $11 million in new opportunities by the end of the quarter, most of which are scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter of 2025 and early 2026.”

“As the government enters its new fiscal year we expect several opportunities that were delayed to move forward in the coming months with many forecasted for the government’s first fiscal quarter. In addition, with funding from the Big Beautiful Bill expected to flow down to agencies and components we have identified and added multiple new programs to our pipeline, further reinforcing our medium-term outlook.”

“The legislation includes more than $70 billion over the next four years in supplemental funding for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), including $6.2 billion earmarked for border security technology. Notably, the bill highlights investments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other innovative technologies aimed at combating illicit trafficking. It also allocates approximately $46.6 billion for physical barriers, cameras, sensors, and related infrastructure as well as $5 billion for CBP facility upgrades, all areas where Airship AI’s technologies and solutions are well aligned.”

“Encouragingly, our recent awards and our expanding pipeline feature our edge AI platform, Outpost AI, as a central component of proposed and deployed solutions. The awards received to date underscore our strategic evolution toward delivering fully integrated, turnkey systems that combine Outpost AI with our backend software and tailored implementation services, positioning us to pursue broader, higher-value opportunities.”

“In the commercial market, we continue to see growing traction across multiple verticals. The shift to a partner-based go-to-market model is showing clear progress as demonstrated by ongoing pilots with several enterprise customers and continued success with flagship accounts. These initiatives leverage our proven approach from the federal sector with artificial intelligence remaining a key differentiator.”

“Looking ahead, we remain disciplined in executing on our fiscal year objectives, including a return to positive operational cash flow. While the ongoing uncertainty surrounding federal funding and the government shutdown adds near-term complexity, we are encouraged by the momentum in our pipeline and the progress toward several large opportunities expected to advance this quarter. Taken together, these factors provide a foundation for optimism as we approach the end of calendar 2025,” concluded Mr. Allen.
