Mojave Research was founded on a simple premise: the people building AI for national security should understand both the technology and the mission.

Our Mission
Most defense AI vendors are either lawyers who hired engineers, or engineers who hired compliance staff. MRI was built as one team from day one — because the gap between a defensible requirements document and a production model that survives enclave delivery is exactly where programs fail.
Leadership
Two people who’ve operated inside the systems they now build for — and who take delivery accountability, not advisory credit.
Jason Wareham
CEO
Former U.S. Marine Corps Judge Advocate (LtCol, USMC). Georgetown Law LL.M. focused on digital evidence and cybercrime.
Jason’s background is built around adversarial environments: evidence, procedure, risk, and consequences. MRI applies that same discipline to AI and security work — clear requirements, defensible decisions, and delivery that survives real scrutiny.

Manbir Gulati
Principal AI Scientist
Machine Learning Research Scientist at Leidos’ AI Accelerator and Applied Insight — an IC contractor — where he built defense-relevant AI across signals intelligence, privacy-preserving inference, and synthetic data generation. Published at NeurIPS 2023 (TabMT), TMLR-accepted Mamba research, and co-developer of TorchSig — open-source ML tooling for RF signal classification. Named inventor on WO2023220583A1 (synthetic tabular data generation, Leidos). BSE Computer Science, Princeton University.
Manbir’s research portfolio maps to the problems defense AI buyers actually face: training models without sharing raw classified data, running inference on encrypted inputs, classifying RF signals without cloud access, and building models that fit the hardware your enclave actually has. Seven years of applied research at IC and defense contractors — not a consulting practice built from a training course.
