Christopher Grant
Founder, Hyperion Vector Systems
Applying two decades of acquisition and systems engineering experience to the challenge of making AI operationally useful inside enterprise workflows. Building grounded AI architectures that work inside the constraints real organizations actually have.
Twenty years across AFRL, NRO, Orbital ATK, Ball Aerospace, and BAE Systems. Led a $400M demonstration system through rapid acquisition. More than $3.5B in competitive awards, including Ball’s largest prime contract win in company history. Built BAE’s Space Warfighting Mission Area from scratch ($300M portfolio, space superiority and Golden Dome). Co-author on a cislunar SDA patent.
USAFA grad (B.S. Astronautical Engineering) because a love of the future possibilities raised by science fiction and a family history of service made that an obvious career path.
