What believers are saying
- Graham Evans joined in August 2026, strengthening national security growth against Booz Allen.
- SHEPRD showed battlefield use at Ivy Sting 5 in 2026, accelerating credibility.
- The $110.4 million OUSD(A&S) award extends LMI into acquisition and sustainment work.
What critics are saying
- Defense revenue concentration leaves LMI exposed if Army NGC2 or Space Force recompetes slip.
- Sole-source and IDIQ wins face protest risk from larger primes through 2026-2027.
- SPECTR and SHEPRD need sustained adoption; failed fielding would undercut LMI's product narrative.
What makes LMI unique
- Josh Wilson and Graham Evans now pair mission delivery with AI product execution.
- SHEPRD reached Army NGC2 and Tradewinds in March 2026, proving deployable software.
- LMI won a $100 million Space Force SBIR Phase III through March 2031.
