Defense & Dual-Use · Human Performance
This Isn't Fitness.
This Is Command.
The AI command layer for human performance — and warfighter readiness.
We turn validated biometric and behavioral signals into one clear directive: train, recover, fuel, or adjust. The same engine that wins consumers is what the DoD is now mandating across the force.
The Pentagon just made human performance a procurement priority. SecDef Hegseth's May 2026 Warfighter Performance Optimization directive mandates department-wide wearable data and pilot programs by July 2027 — yet the readiness decision layer above the hardware is unbuilt. Helix Vector is a commercially live, patent-pending, dual-use platform built to own it, led by an operator who has done the job by hand.
Why Helix Vector
Dual-use by design — and the government is already buying.
Helix Vector is live on the App Store — core app built and functional, hardware-agnostic across Apple Health and Health Connect. The product runs a shared biological-context engine: glucose, occupational strain, and cycle phase feed one directive, so two users with identical steps and sleep get different calls when their biology says they should. The DoD funds this exact thesis — AFRL put $25M into biosensor-to-readiness AI in April 2026; USSOCOM's POTFF II ($955M) recompetes as POTFF III in October.
An operator moat fitness software cannot cross.
Founder Jonathon Powell is an active-duty Navy Independent Duty Corpsman — the autonomous operator-clinician who makes train / recover / deploy calls with no physician on hand. That is the human version of Helix Vector's directive engine, and it is not something a hardware company or a data-science team can buy. The product is built honest: missing data never fabricates a score, and every output is wellness-framed and non-diagnostic — the discipline a defense buyer requires.
Defensible IP, protected in a dedicated holding company.
We filed a U.S. provisional patent in March 2026 — "System and Method for Predictive Multi-Vector Human Performance Optimization Using Biometric and Behavioral Data" — covering the core signals-to-directive engine. The IP is held by Helix Vector Holdings, LLC (a dedicated holding company for patents, methodology, and trade secrets), separate from the operating entity, Innovate Athletics, LLC. Nothing is licensed from a university or lab; the IP is entirely our own.
A capital path that compounds: non-dilutive R&D alongside commercial traction.
Non-dilutive DoD capital de-risks the roadmap and validates the thesis with the most credible buyer on earth, and it's already moving: our USSOCOM ANCHOR submission is under active technical review, and AFRL's CHEERS program (open through Sept 2028) fits the platform as-is. A sequence defense-tech partners recognize, run by a founder who already lives inside the customer.
The short version
A commercially live, dual-use readiness platform — arriving exactly as the DoD mandates the category force-wide — with a provisional patent on the core engine, an active USSOCOM submission under technical review, and a founder who has made the readiness call himself, in the field, for years.
