Odyssey Group Highlights

Aviation

The Aviation Team has been driving mission success through an impressive range of efforts this year. The team conducted flight demonstrations at the National All-Domain Warfare Center in Grayling, Michigan, coordinating all ground and flight activities, and was recognized for outstanding mission support during a Program Management Review—earning a coin from the Deputy PEO for ISR/SOF.

On the domestic front, the team coordinated an aircraft delivery swap between ANG and AFRC, reducing the requirement from three C-17s to two—a move that eliminated the need for an additional crew and maintenance team and saved the Air Force nearly $1M.

They have also been instrumental in international case development, supporting Norway’s request for up to nine HH-60W helicopters and advancing early requirements for the Royal Taiwan Air Force.

Innovation and collaboration remain at the forefront of the team’s work. Recent efforts include supporting ASARS test flights during the ORANGE FLAG event, partnering with the B-52 program office to enable AgilePod IMV carriage, and developing ISR data compression solutions through RDUCE integration. They also submitted a draft Requirement Work Statement to establish an in-house capability for rapid design, build, and deployment of Group 1/2 sUAS. Additionally, they partnered with AFRL to support a small business seeking SBIR funding for next-generation battery technology—an effort that could be transformational for Special Warfare operators.

Finally, the team continues to look ahead, collaborating with Mission Programs Portfolio Management and IT to build an automated Lessons Learned database, ensuring knowledge from past efforts accelerates the success of future programs.

Life Sciences

WRAIR Brain Trauma and Neuroprotection (BTN) Highlights

The Odyssey team Brain Trauma and Neuroprotection branch at WRAIR provides one-of-a-kind brain trauma countermeasure research capabilities to the U.S. Army. They are testing Bumetanide, a diuretic used for edema, as a therapeutic against the effects of a penetrating injury in a rat model. They have a group focused on the preservation of mitochondrial function following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The group is collaborating with external product developers to assess the efficacy of potential therapeutics in enhancing neurological functional outcomes through post-concussive injury-induced neuroplasticity and repair. The group is also examining Acetate-based energy supplements that target the preservation of mitochondria function and the testing of mitochondria dysfunction associated theragnostic and prognostic biomarkers up-regulated post-TBI. Other projects include the testing of 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) as a countermeasure against neuronal axon damage and demyelination after a penetrating brain injury, study of the commercial Q-Collar product, in swine, that applies compression to the neck, increasing blood flow to reduce brain movement in the skull during a TBI, and the testing of an Osmo-Therapy Device (OTD) that is applied post-penetrating injury to reduce cerebral edema and improve symptoms.

WRAIR Department of Diarrheal Disease Research (DDR) Program Highlights

Odyssey’s WRAIR Diarrheal Disease Research (DDR) department is the premier research program in the DoD for countermeasures against enteric pathogens. Their work focuses on the development of prophylactics, vaccines, and therapeutics against the three most common enteric pathogens facing the deployed warfighter today: Shigella, Campylobacter, and Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETE). The group has developed or helped develop seven different vaccine products, including one that has reached Phase II clinical trials and another that is currently in Phase I testing. Other projects involve the use of a commercial off-the-shelf anti-diarrheal product (Travelan) as a prophylactic against Shigella, a study with Australian colleagues to test hyper-immune sera from cows vaccinated against Shigella in a mouse infection model, and a collaboration with the University of Maryland to use Bacterial Enzymatic Combinatorial Chemistry (BECC) to reduce the endotoxicity and reactogenicity of the WRAIR developed live-attenuated Shigella vaccine.

On the heels of these successes, new doors within the SOF community appear ready to open.

Technical Center

Advancing Integration: Building Our Data Strategy from the Ground Up

As part of Odyssey’s strategic objective to create an integrated corporate structure, Nick Davis has been working within the Technical Center to help lay the foundation for our emerging Operational Intelligence Fabric, a lightweight approach to weaving together the systems, data, and insights that power our work.

Nick’s work focuses on analyzing our current systems, identifying key data types and sources, and mapping data fields to align information across platforms. This effort is about more than just data; it’s about how we integrate our systems, simplify the flow of information, connect insights across functions, and ultimately enhance how Odyssey operates.

A significant component of this strategy involves exploring the design of a Data Lake, which will serve as the foundation for enabling advanced capabilities such as AI, machine learning, natural language processing, and large language models (LLMs). These efforts will help move Odyssey toward a more intelligent, proactive, and scalable approach to operations and insight. We’re at the beginning of this journey, but it’s a critical one. Check out this demo of the data mapping work that’s helping to bring this vision to life.

Strategic Engagement

Strategic Engagement Team continues towards Full Operational Capability!

The Strategic Engagement (SE) team reached its full strength in May with the addition of Mr. Justin Bright as Program Coordinator. Based in the Lincoln office, Justin is a proud husband and father of two boys. He and his family share a love of adventure and traveling, and Justin says that exploring the world with them is one of his greatest joys.

Professionally, Justin spent 24 years in the Air Force, where he developed a passion for leading people and helping them reach their full potential. He refined this passion as a First Sergeant, advising senior leaders and assisting teams to stay connected and prepared for any challenge. Following his military career, Justin continued to grow as an HR Director, organizational consultant, and workshop facilitator, helping teams strengthen communication, prevent burnout, and build healthier cultures. Justin locked in his position on the team when he told us, “At the heart of it all, I’m just passionate about personal growth, connection, and helping people discover their best at work and in life.” We couldn’t be more excited to have him on board. If you see Justin, make sure to give him a big smile and a crisp high five.

While we are proud to be connecting the dots by working with cross-functional teams across the company, we are also focused on planning and developing SE as a company-wide function. Reaching full operational capability means more than being fully staffed—it means maturing our processes, aligning with Operations and Growth, and building the tools and approaches that will allow Odyssey to consistently communicate its value, strengthen its reputation, and deepen relationships with both customers and partners. This deliberate focus ensures SE is not just contributing to projects today but also laying the groundwork for long-term impact and sustained success across the company.

Driving Growth and Strategic Opportunities

This past quarter, SE jumped in to supplement the Growth Team during a time when multiple opportunities were moving forward in parallel, each with significant potential for Odyssey. In addition to providing frequent behind-the-scenes support, SE has undertaken initial scoring and evidence mapping to help estimate the probability of win and inform decisions on priming and strategic teaming. This work also shapes strategic conversations with potential partners, helping Odyssey secure teammates when we prime and strengthening our case to be brought on board when we do not. The team is enjoying the chance to support growth efforts and to play a small but meaningful part in solidifying Odyssey’s future revenue. SE and Growth teams also collaborated with Operations experts on multiple proposal efforts, sharpening our ability to capture new business, expand into new markets, and diversify our operations.

Strategic Hiring

SE members activated their networks to help bring talented leaders into the company. Looking ahead, SE will meet with Talent Acquisition and collaborate with people across the company to develop and implement Strategic Hiring concepts. These efforts will help bring in the right people who have the necessary skills but also embody our core values and culture.

Building Connections and Extending Our Reach

Over the next six months, SE work will accelerate a project to deepen the company’s understanding of our customer base and industry partnerships, improving collaboration across the company. Success in this area will strengthen one of Odyssey’s most powerful competitive advantages: serving as the “connective tissue” between complementary programs within the DoD, helping our customers become more effective and efficient.

Meanwhile, the Employee Ambassador concept continues to develop, with a focus on building relationships that extend our brand and reach. While the details are still being refined, the vision is clear: identifying motivated individuals across the company to help tell Odyssey’s story and drive growth by fostering personal connections.
