Raft on the Record

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

Raft in the news - Hero@1x

Battle Manager? More like a Battle Brain

History made. Our Starsage AI system didn't whisper sweet nothings; it gave real-time commands to fighter jets. Straight up midair machine-speed flexing. The verdict? Speed, efficiency, and one giant “hold my beer” for autonomous command and control.

Starsage just went full Top Gun →

 

Less Daydream, More Houston We Brought the Kill Chain

We just got the nod to make space intel actually fight. HOPE 2.0 isn’t about warm fuzzies—it’s about turning orbital data into battlefield decisions at speed. Less dusty “NASA archive,” more “real-time edge.” Because what good is staring at satellites if no one on the ground knows what they’re looking at?

New Prime, Who Dis?

Think Maverick, but with less volleyball and more AI. That’s our founder and CEO, Shubhi Mishra, on the Burn Bag Podcast. Running towards fear, unifying data, and telling the old guard to hold her mic while she changes the game. Because the future belongs to the New Primes.

Cool Tech That Deserves Your Attention.

Rumor Has It (Raft Remix)

When the network ghosts you mid-mission, there's a backup plan: gossip. Not the messy kind. Our kind. Inspired by how small towns spread news faster than fiber, our Data Platform lets every node spill the tea to its neighbors. So even if the network’s down, your intel isn’t. Call it tactical whispering, call it digital chisme ... either way, the warfighter stays in the loop while legacy systems are still buffering.

AFA Air, Space and Cyber 2025

Mark it down: Booth #1841 is where the cool kids are at. We ditched boring backdrops for a 90’s record store vibe, straight-outta Cybertron energy, and enough #LFG to make every other booth feel like a dentist’s waiting room.

 

Here’s the lineup:

  • Coffee That Doesn't Suck: Tuesday, September 23, 9 AM – 1 PM. Real coffee. Not the sad stuff in urns.

  • Because Networking Needs Bourbon: Tuesday, September 23, 5 PM - 8 PM. This is the happy hour people will still be talking about (and feeling) on the flight home. Who doesn’t love a strong drink, a fresh cigar, and karaoke no one asked for?

    Space is limited. RSVP Today →

  • The Anti-Nap Panel: AI + C2 = LinkedIn Can Wait. Wednesday, September 24, at 12:50 PM EST in Potomac Ballroom C. Our Chief Product Officer, Trey Coleman,  is breaking it down, Raft style. 

Why? Because Your New Prime doesn’t do beige and sad clicky pens.

This month’s fab moments in the press.

Rebrand Like You Mean It

President Trump says “Defense” sounds too polite. No official rename yet, but we’re taking bets: Department of Domination? U.S. Ministry of Who’s Asking? Either way, the rebrand energy is giving “new LinkedIn bio just dropped.”

Army’s Air Defense Gets a Glow Up

Missile defense isn’t just back, it’s getting a 30% force bump and more Patriot launches than a Fourth of July rerun. The Army’s shopping list is long (hello, interceptor surge), and Lt. Gen. Fitzgerald sees AI as the next big upgrade; less guesswork, more boom. BLUF: missile defense just got a fresh coat of funding and a tech facelift.

Space Race Is Back—And There’s a "No Trespassing" Sign on the Moon

NASA’s interim chief just said, “Fine, let’s nuke the Moon”...in the most peaceful, energy-efficient way possible. The plan? Drop a nuclear reactor up there, because extension cords don’t run 238,000 miles. Meanwhile, China is carving out lunar real estate with uncrewed missions and base blueprints, turning the Moon into prime battleground property. Forget flags and footprints—the next grid war is lunar.
