A few weeks ago we shared new documents on the back of our collab with Matt. I wanted to offer a few tidbits on a term referenced in one of the emails:
AMRDEC stands for the US Army Aviation & Missile Research, Development & Engineering Center.
It’s primarily comprised of civilians and contractors, with significant ties to academia. AMRDEC also maintained a program used throughout the DOD (including contractor-to-contractor) for file transfers that has since been replaced by DOD Safe.
We’d had emails with a few references to Huntsville (one of the AMRDEC locations above), obtained a few years ago from Georgia Tech. I finally stumbled onto the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) website in recent days, and found this:
Georgia Tech maintains a presence in Huntsville supporting AMRDEC.
As I release a few tranches of documents this weekend, keep this is mind whenever you see AMRDEC - it could be referencing materials flowing from Georgia Tech through AMRDEC, to DARPA and beyond.

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an engineer—
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer.
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.

Keep up the great work. Thanks.
