Arcana Innovations Launches, Helping Mission-Driven Technology Solutions Integrate with Government End Users
Established to bridge the gap between innovation and operational deployment across the defense and national security space.
Boston, MA, April 16, 2025— Arcana Innovations, a high-impact startup organization dedicated to streamlining the path from emerging technology to mission-ready defense solutions, has come to market to help innovators navigate the complexities of government technology integration. Specializing in guiding companies—whether early-stage or marketplace leaders—Arcana Innovations delivers end-to-end support across regulatory compliance, pilot program development, stakeholder engagement, and strategic market positioning to ensure cutting-edge technologies are rigorously tested, validated, and ready for rapid deployment and mission success.
Each year, breakthrough technologies with national security potential stall before reaching their intended mission due to complex procurement and integration pathway barriers. Arcana Innovations is uniquely positioned in the market to combat this issue and fill the gap between groundbreaking innovation and government application, as it was spearheaded by three U.S. Army veterans with deep experience in special operations, operational technology, intelligence, and national security. The company’s deep domain expertise and direct access to key defense and public sector stakeholders enable it to deliver tangible outcomes, not just strategy. Arcana Innovation’s focus areas include:
Operational technology integration
Pilot program development and facilitation
Regulatory compliance and market readiness
Strategic positioning and investment support
Stakeholder engagement across DoD and government agencies
“Arcana Innovations was founded because we’ve seen firsthand how often critical defense and national security technologies fall short of reaching those they’re built to support,” shared Jackie Giunta, Co-Founder and CEO of Arcana Innovations. “Our mission is to close that gap for rapid end-user technology deployment by ensuring innovation aligns with mission need, advances with credibility, and ultimately delivers meaningful capability where it matters most.”
Jackie Giunta brings over 15 years of experience in intelligence, national security, and strategic risk across public and private sectors. As Co-Founder and CEO of Arcana Innovations, she leads the company’s vision and engagement strategy, guiding advanced technologies toward operational relevance and deployment. Her background in military intelligence and federal law enforcement, combined with deep connectivity across the national security ecosystem, equips her to lead with mission insight and executive foresight.
“The mission behind Arcana Innovations has always been about the guys on the ground, making sure they have the right tools to increase lethality and, more importantly, survivability,” said Ted Giunta, Co-Founder and COO of Arcana Innovations. “We translate innovative technology into capabilities that hold up under battlefield conditions and meet mission demands.”
More than 20 years of special operations experience have given Ted a deep understanding of the operational needs that drive mission success. His firsthand expertise in high-stakes environments enables him to identify critical capability gaps and align emerging technologies with real-world defense requirements. Leveraging a vast global network, Ted connects innovators with military end-users, ensuring practical, effective, and mission-ready solutions.
“Technology isn’t valuable unless it can perform in the environment it’s built for,” said Trey Corrales, CISSP, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer. “With decades of experience bridging advanced defense technology systems and operational realities, I focus on ensuring innovation isn’t just novel — it’s functional, adaptable, and built to meet the mission where it actually happens.”
Trey Corrales is a 25-year U.S. Army Special Operations veteran and a recognized leader in tactical technology integration. He has led the deployment of advanced systems such as IVAS and Nett Warrior, bridging emerging innovation with operational execution across joint and coalition environments. As Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at Arcana Innovations, Trey ensures that every solution the company supports is technically sound, field-ready, and aligned with real-world mission demands.
