We crashed REFORPAC with AI that actually works, and dropped new demos so sharp they cut through acronym soup. Buckle up, this one’s got altitude.. #LFG🚀

Raft on the Record

The noise we've made, and the headlines we've hijacked.

REFORPAC’d and Ready to Rumble

Picture 12,000 personnel, 400 aircraft, 50 locations, a contested environment, and one collective caffeine dependency...that’s REFORPAC. The Indo-Pacific’s biggest “let’s see if we can actually do this” exercise took command and control to the edge. 

 

While everyone else needed tents, towers, and good vibes, AOC-Anywhere was running ops across 3,000 miles without breaking a sweat.

 

Because sometimes command and control isn’t fixed, it’s wherever the fight goes.

Cool Tech That Deserves Your Attention.

Live from the Kill Chain

If you’ve ever yelled, “Why won’t this system talk to anything?” this one’s for you.

 

Our Data Platform, [R]DP, turns feuding systems into a unified front faster than you can say “joint ops”, federating and streaming trusted data across domains from the edge to the enterprise.

 

Our AI Mission System, [R]AIMS, rides shotgun as your AI partner. It turns that chaos into understanding and action, prompting insights and recommending moves before you can even say “DDIL.”

 

Together, they’re what autonomy is built on; the data layer and knowledge layer tag-teaming the mission so operators and AI agents can move faster than a DoD approval chain on decaf.

 

We are what autonomy is built on. →

Smoke Signals from the Beltway

This month’s fab moments in the press.

Balloons Aren't Just Party Decor

The Army’s latest move? Filling the Indo-Pacific with hundreds of ISR balloons, solar gliders, and other airborne overachievers. Because in the Indo-Pacific, comms drop faster than morale on day three of MREs. 

 

They’re calling it a “mass experiment.” We’re calling it Project Peekaboo, balloons that see you before your radar even says “good morning.” Think: no landing strip, no runway tantrums, just vibes and very judgmental balloons silently watching everything you do from space-adjacent altitude.

 

Up, up and Oy Vey. →

Clocking in? More like ticked off. 

After years of China vacuuming up U.S. data like it’s the clearance aisle at Best Buy.... OPM, Equifax, Marriott, TikTok... China’s now kicking and screaming that the U.S. might’ve hacked them. The alleged target? Their National Time Service. Yep, the clock. 

 

It’s giving arsonist calls the fire department because someone messed up their matchbox collection.

 

You can dish it, but you can't stopwatch it? →

Welcome to the Drone Age

The Army's new vision? Every soldier gets their own drone. Think less Amazon Prime delivery, more battlefield sidekick with rotors. Army Futures Command is skipping the billion-dollar procurement dance and going full Costco on autonomy.

 

No more waiting three years and two acquisition reforms to get something that flies. The battlefield’s about to look like a GoPro convention with live ammo.

The future is already flying. →
