On January 16, Raft announced the latest version of Raft Data Platform ([R]DP), an edge-ready, scalable platform purpose-built for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to solve challenges in handling disparate, large-scale data from the edge to the enterprise.
With evolving geopolitical tensions and increasing reliance on data-driven military operations, modern warfare demands the ability to collect, process, and analyze data from multiple sources in real-time across a vast, complex, contested landscape. Using data quickly and efficiently is mission-critical, as delays in processing data cedes decision advantage to the adversary. To keep pace in the next fight, modern data platforms need to integrate more seamlessly, be more modular, and require more flexibility in government ownership and government purpose rights.
“From licensed-based solutions that come with high costs and require customization to government-owned platforms that do not have the flexibility needed for broader operational use, today’s DoD data marketplace lacks a singular solution that supports edge and DDIL environments while operating across all classification levels, until now,” said Shubhi Mishra, CEO, Raft. “With [R]DP, we are providing the DoD with a much-needed flexible, AI-enabled solution that scales with evolving needs. Now, the DoD has access to a powerful platform that gives them the versatility, speed, and reliability to take control of its data landscape and stay ahead of adversaries.”
[R]DP supports users of all types, from low code operators to data scientist super-users, from the edge to the enterprise and has demonstrated use cases at the tactical edge using handheld devices to users at the enterprise level using a global Common Operating Picture. [R]DP operates at and all classification levels with native Cross Domain Solutions. [R]DP seamlessly integrates various data types and modalities and moves data and industry leading speed, sub second speed, enabling decision superiority. Raft’s comprehensive platform performs faster than existing operational data platforms and is already deployed on IL6 within the DoD.
