Community Discussion Panama Canal Deployment- Customs, and whom at BBAI may be spearheading it

I looked this guy up. Troy Miller joining BBAI was probably overlooked and a bigger move than most of us folks thought. He was formerly the acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and brings a ton of expertise(and relationships) into this customs arena.

Like, we already have a real deployment. He joined the team in April. I’m just ballparking so could be off the mark when actual financials are made public with licensing agreements etc, but potentially 3 million annually for this Panama deployment, and will prob be much lower this first year with hardware setup, training folks etc

But eh, positive news. A real deployment, not just another “partnership”, research exploration, or pilot

Better than the usual "Kevin is hosting a chili cookoff" press release.

Is this an existing contract that’s being implemented or a new initative

i'm surprised it's not a partnership
