In this episode of the Techne Connect, Jonathan Andree, Technical Director at Galvion, shares how his team builds integrated soldier systems. He explains tactical helmet platforms, the Cortex AR capability, and open architectures that join radios, sensors, and Android tools to deliver the right information at the right time
Jonathan traces his path from financial IT into defence. He talks about shifting from cost savings to capability, systems thinking across hardware, embedded software, and UI, and rigorous lab and field testing, including Galvion’s Warfighter Lab.
There are practical lessons on handling project “yellow lights,” collaborating across engineering and business, and why breadth of skills matters. We cover AR and HUD design, edge compute, security, and human performance. Jonathan also outlines the roles Galvion recruits, from embedded and FPGA to UX, network, and ex-mil specialists. Expect a clear view of soldier-worn technology, how to integrate complex kits, and where defence software is heading.
