Silicon Valley is increasing its focus on defense technology inspired by rising geopolitical tensions and modern warfare needs. Companies like Rune Technologies are creating AI-enabled software to improve military logistics, an area often overlooked in favor of weapons systems. Their product, TyrOS, aims to streamline logistics operations, which currently rely heavily on outdated systems. With lessons learned from ongoing conflicts like Ukraine, Rune has attracted significant investment to expand its innovative approach to logistics in the military.
The U.S. military runs on Excel spreadsheets and white boards and manual processes right now to execute logistics operations. Logistics is never the sexiest part of the military.
Ukraine is a sad example of the expenditures of munitions, the consumption of supplies, and those types of things in a near-peer adversary conflict - they will break human-centric and analog-centric processes.
Rune's flagship product TyrOS promises to transform manual logistics processes into intelligent supply webs that predict future needs, optimize current resources, and enable distributed operations.
The startup has just raised a $24 million Series A off the back of pilot deployments under the Army and Marine Corps.
