WASHINGTON, March 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Satellite 2022 -- SEMPRE, the technology company created to secure America's critical infrastructure, today announced that General Timothy M. Ray (USAF ret.) has joined the company as Strategic Advisor. As the former Commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, General Ray will lend his expertise in strategic deterrence to support SEMPRE's mission to reinforce and protect digital infrastructure.

"Global events have made it clear that SEMPRE's technology is more important than ever; ensuring that no matter what, our most critical communications remain functional," said Brigadier General (USAF ret.) Robert Spalding, founder and CEO of SEMPRE. "General Ray's significant experience in national security and nuclear command and control will help us further tailor our products to meet today's unique defense and commercial needs."

SEMPRE's patent-pending technology is designed for mission-critical communications and meets stringent US Government MiL SPEC standards for EMP-hardening and resiliency.

Furthermore, SEMPRE's technology is optimized for advanced AI/ML to allow for enhanced military operation for the autonomous battlefield.

"Gen. Spalding's dedication in defending our nation whether in public service or private enterprise is unimpeachable, and I'm eager to begin working with him again on SEMPRE's technology," added Gen. Ray. "Whatever approach we take in restoring resilience and margin in our infrastructure and national capacity must be taken as both a public and private endeavor – and to make that happen, I've joined as Strategic Advisor."
