When your hardware is mission critical, so is your test stand. Nominal's Instrumentation Engineers change it from a bottleneck to a competitive advantage. Nominal Connect replaces brittle legacy interfaces with robust, real-time test automation. But test engineers need more

To understand a robot, you can't watch from the outside. You need to see the world through their eyes. Robots often fail in subtle ways – losing track of objects mid-motion, misjudging depth by a few millimeters, or releasing at the wrong instant. When engineers rely on video

Our preferred dinner topics include defense innovation, advanced autonomy, and orbital security. So Cameron McCord and Jenn Wilson had a great evening last night in London. Nominal hosted a private dinner with General Catalyst for founders building in aerospace, defence,

Our co-founders Cameron McCord and Jason Hoch met their first week at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). After raising a $75M Series B led by Sequoia Capital, they returned to share their story. Since MIT, Cameron and Jason have lived at the intersection of defense, hardware, and software – at the U.S. Navy,

When most people picture a "drone," they see the General Atomics iconic Predator – trusted, proven, and in service for over 30 years with more than 8 million flight hours logged. We're excited to announce our partnership with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc (GA-ASI) (GA-ASI). GA-ASI is deploying

Incredible execution by Team Nominal - now providing comprehensive support for an at scale, complex, and mission critical program! cc Lightspeed Connor Love

LiDAR has become indispensable for modern perception. But syncing and storing LiDAR with other channels can overwhelm robotics engineers. The good news? Nominal Connect's machine vision has arrived. LiDAR data doesn't fit neatly into pixels. It’s sparse, noisy, and scattered.

🏭Reindustrialize 2.0 Announcement🏭 We're honored to feature: Cameron McCord (Cameron McCord) CEO at Nominal (Nominal) & Stephen Slattery Head of Product at Nominal Previously announced: > Matt Vaughan, President, Applied Science & Technology at Battelle > Isaiah

CAN lines are robust, efficient, versatile—but they produce cryptic streams of binary data. Humans don't speak binary. Nominal Connect translates. With Nominal Connect, we turned raw thermocouple readings sent via CAN into a clear, intuitive UI. Real-time data, instant clarity,

We're proud to announce Nominal earned the #19 spot on the NatSec100 rankings. We’re even prouder to partner with fellow awardees: Anduril Industries Shield AI, Radiant, REGENT, Hermeus, and many others. Silicon Valley Defense Group's NatSec100 represents the

The threats of tomorrow are met by the builders of today. We're in a golden era of defense-focused startups, but emerging tech can only contribute if it's funded – and deployable at scale. This week, our CEO Cameron McCord visited The Pentagon, White House, and Capitol Hill to

If you're interested in seeing the future of hardware test, it's making an appearance this week on the Reindustrialize headline stage. Cameron McCord and Stephen Slattery are presenting at the Reindustrialize Summit this week in Detroit. You can catch them on the headline stage

Achieving our industrial goals doesn't just mean more assembly lines. We need to scale faster. We need to re-think the hardware test stack. Last week, Nomineers Cameron McCord and Stephen Slattery took the headline stage at REINDUSTRIALIZE SUMMIT in Detroit to present Nominal's vision

In a matter of minutes, Hermeus achieved milestones that take their competitors weeks. First high speed taxi. Validate results in real time. Approve for first flight. Execute checks. First flight. All within minutes, not weeks. Nominal's making it the new standard.

Every phone, every radar defending our coast – they depend on finely-tuned antennas. So radio frequency engineers spend hours testing; Nominal Connect makes it simple. Nominal Connect provides the Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) to simplify operations of benchtop instruments such

Sincere congratulations to Rear Adm. John "Doc" Dougherty on his nomination to lead NAVAIR! We at Nominal are proud to work with leaders of his caliber. "Doc" was recently nominated to serve as commander of Naval Air Systems Command, and for appointment to the grade of vice

Our CEO, Cameron McCord, joined a dinner with Chairman Mike Rogers of the House Armed Services Committee, alongside leaders from other innovative defense tech companies — Varda Space Industries, K2 Space Corporation, Unstructured, Radiant, Galvanick, and EdgeRunner AI. The

Robot Framework set the standard for powerful test automation over the past two decades. Nominal Connect is making it simple, fast, and scalable. Robot Framework is an open source Test Executive for HIL applications. For 20 years it has supported process and component validation

The era of 'test once, deploy forever' is over. Today's software-defined hardware systems continuously adapt, meaning new behavior, new tests, new data. Legacy test stacks are breaking under the pressure. Software updates reconfigure modern hardware – from satellite fleets to
