Air announced a ten-year, $450 million expansion of its Pittsburgh office. The company, which specialises in Enterprise Readiness for national security, will invest $10 million initially in new office space in Pittsburgh's Strip District. The expansion will accommodate hundreds of employees, with Air having already increased its Pittsburgh workforce by nearly 67%. The company plans to move into the new facility in October 2026. The $450 million total economic impact over the decade includes compensation, taxes, and benefits. CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty cited Pittsburgh's skilled workforce, academic institutions, and growing tech sector as key factors in the expansion decision. Air, formerly known as Govini, provides AI-native systems for national security enterprise operations.

Air, a defence technology company formerly known as Govini, has appointed David Kensick as chief operating officer. Kensick joins during a period of rapid expansion, with the company maintaining 100% year-over-year growth after achieving unicorn status in 2025. The company's Enterprise Readiness platform serves federal government agencies and military services. Air recently ranked 18th on the 2026 NatSec100 list, marking the largest advancement on the annual defence innovation index. Kensick brings over 20 years of leadership experience across technology and aviation sectors. He previously served as chief experience officer at ID.me and held senior positions at United Airlines. His background includes more than 20 years in the US Air Force as an F-16 pilot and squadron commander.

Govini, now rebranded as Air, has raised concerns about a growing "Readiness Gap" in US defence at its 2026 Reindustrialize Summit. Despite nearly $700 million in daily defence spending on readiness, performance continues to decline, according to new research. Development timelines have doubled to 12 years, production ramps now take 7-10 years versus 3-5 years previously, and nearly 75% of Air Force aircraft entering depot maintenance face delays. The company attributes this to fragmented systems and disconnected coordination across the defence enterprise. Air introduced Enterprise Readiness, an AI-native platform designed to coordinate development, production and sustainment in real time. The platform currently manages over $140 billion in defence programmes, including Patriot, F-35 and B-52 systems. The company changed its name from Govini to reflect its evolution into a continuous execution platform.
