roomfield, CO — April 29, 2025Vita Inclinata, a leading provider of intelligent lifting technology and solutions for aerospace and industrial construction industries, announced today that its CEO, Caleb Carr, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the Software in Defense Coalition (SDC). This role acknowledges Carr's leadership in defense innovation.

The Software in Defense Coalition was founded to champion the role of software in modern warfare and defense readiness, providing a platform for non-traditional technology companies to influence policy, funding, and adoption pathways within the Department of Defense. As a board member, Carr will leverage his expertise in defense procurement and technology-driven transformation to accelerate the SDC’s mission of lowering barriers for startups and ensuring the U.S. and its allies maintain a technological edge.

“This is an incredible honor,” said Caleb Carr, CEO of Vita Inclinata. “I’ve witnessed firsthand the challenges that innovative companies face overcoming the Valley of Death. The Software in Defense Coalition is a beacon for change, and I’m excited to work alongside my peers to create pathways for startups to deliver the latest solutions to our nation’s security challenges.”

Carr’s selection reflects his leadership at Vita Inclinata, a company he founded to develop advanced lifting solutions that improve safety and efficiency in industrial construction, military operations, and aerospace search-and-rescue missions. Under his guidance, Vita Inclinata has secured significant defense contracts, including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army National Guards’ procurement of the Vita Rescue System (VRS) and a Navy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to advance the Vita Load Navigator (VLN), a critical innovation for maritime lifting operations.

With the SDC, Carr will help shape strategies that ensure software-driven capabilities receive the funding, advocacy, and policy attention needed to enhance warfighter readiness and mission success. The appointment comes at a critical time, as recent assessments—such as the Reagan Institute’s National Security Innovation Base Report—have highlighted significant barriers to innovation adoption within the Department of Defense.

“With Caleb’s background in driving defense technology adoption and his deep understanding of dual-use company challenges, he is an invaluable addition to our board,” said Jane Lee, Chair of the Software in Defense Coalition. “His leadership at Vita Inclinata has demonstrated what’s possible when transformative technology meets operational defense needs, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the coalition.”
