Maybe the time has finally come here for real. Been a long wait. GLA...

My pleasure ya misery, the devil is in the detail!

I finally found a spare hour to look into all of this waffling today.

I see now why the share has been stuck in suspense for so long. The boys have been busy writing a novel for us all to enjoy!

At first read it came across as a traditional small cap horror story, similar to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but with really bad acting and the obligatory blood spilt on the floor.

It then quickly moved on, metamorphosising into a barely readable whodunnit with few obvious clues before abruptly ending as an unexpected love story with a potentially delightful Polish twist. A happy ending?

I'm thinking maybe there will be a netflix mini series next, with Tom Cruise playing TE, Dwayne Johnson as SL and a guest appearance of Woody Allen playing Olaf...

The ghost writer seems to have been a lawyer though.

Can't wait for the next plot twist...

The "ALRT whitespace joint venture" refers to a strategic partnership between Defence Holdings PLC (LSE: ALRT) and Whitespace Global Limited to develop and deliver sovereign, software-first, AI-enabled defence software products. The partnership, now operating under the brand "Defence Technologies," will build defence-focused software on Whitespace's Collective OS platform to accelerate AI capabilities for UK and allied defence and national security environments.

Key Details:

Partners: Defence Holdings PLC (LSE: ALRT) and Whitespace Global Limited.

Purpose: To create a dedicated platform for developing, integrating, and deploying sovereign AI-enabled defence software.

Branding: The partnership is now unified under the brand name "Defence Technologies" to provide a single identity for its efforts.

Technology: The collaboration will leverage Whitespace's Collective OS, an AI platform already in use in classified UK defence environments.

Goal: To establish a sovereign AI leader in the defence technology sector and build deployable software infrastructure at the speed and scale required by modern threats.

Significance: This partnership combines Defence Holdings' capital markets access and defence relationships with Whitespace's proven, operational infrastructure to challenge foreign competitors in the defence AI market.

How Defence Technologies differs from competitors :-

"Sovereign" UK solution: A key differentiator is that Defence Technologies is focused on building and deploying a "sovereign" AI capability for the UK and its allies, keeping the technology secure and on-shore.

AI infrastructure and platform focus: The venture's use of Whitespace's Collective OS platform sets it apart from traditional AI developers who focus only on applications. The platform approach is designed to speed up the deployment of mission-critical software directly within classified defense environments.

Partnerships and agility: While traditional defense companies build AI capabilities in-house, Defence Technologies combines the agile, high-tech expertise of Whitespace with the market access and defense relationships of Defence Holdings PLC, potentially accelerating development and adoption.

My current thoughts revolve around the Whitespace/ALRT joint venture under the 'Defence Technologies' umbrella.

The Whitespace team will want to monetise their efforts at some point. A future ALRT RTO is one way to achieve this.

Timing of this will be under their control. UK AI startup Deepmind was sold to Google for £400m eleven years ago, many thought this was too cheap, and so it has demonstrably proven to be. A great deal for Google at the time.

The Whitespace team will not want to make such a mistake in case of any potential future offer, thus timing of any potential RTO is everything. A maximal valuation will be one of their key aims. All imo ofc DYOR.

Hey...who has had the brass neck to delete my thruppence post?????

Anyway, it's fourpence ha'penny now! imo 😉

Great call. Whitespace co-founder, and ALRT CTO, Andrew McCartney gave me Paddy Mayne vibes, and not just for the accent!

It seems that ALRT is right at the coalface of the AI defence revolution, with a huge pick!

Hohoho.

Older and wiser. Maybe!

Tuppence ha'penny be nice before next news.

Early days here. Havieron wasn't built in a day. GGP's HAD005 was the spark. '5'. ;)

I'm thinking perhaps more news monday before the call. Then a deeper dive into it all. Just imo.....GLA

Scareybels parsons nose is twitching again I see. Still, 14000 posts at 10p a pop over many years is not to be sniffed ofc. Pays for the handbags!

Hmmm. Yes. Explains a lot! Scareybelend has a Bloomberg terminal, his students ate all on Google Finance following along 15 minutes behind the curve lol.

More of a flump and plump today. Whatever!

I gotta hold all mine tight. If I sell I can't easily get 'em back 😂
