- Driving adoption of the new LMR cycle to upsell services.
- Offsetting cost headwinds to protect operating margins.
- Integrating Silvus Technologies to hit near-term financial targets.
- Converting record orders to revenue & hitting backlog targets.

Question #1
Will Brown prioritize the financial and strategic upside of the Silvus acquisition over the complex operational and cultural integration required to avoid the pitfalls seen with Airwave?
Question #2
When faced with the challenge of converting a record backlog into revenue, will Brown revert to his playbook of financial engineering and M&A, or will he demonstrate the sustained operational discipline required to drive organic growth?
Question #3
Does Brown’s focus on managing the external narrative and shareholder perception inhibit the internal transparency required to identify and mitigate significant post-acquisition risks before they escalate?
