Raft Launches [R] AI Mission System: Autonomous, Lightweight AI for Every Edge - Augmenting Legacy Systems

New modular AI intelligence platform enables warfighters to actionize agentic AI in a trustworthy way 

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Raft, a leading autonomous data fusion and Agentic AI company, dedicated to empowering the U.S. military and government agencies with cutting-edge AI/ML and data solutions, today announced the release of [R] AI Mission System ([R] AIMS), an innovative light-weight AI platform that fuses data, AI agents, and limited and large language models (LLMs) into a unified ecosystem to expedite decision-making with high confidence. Designed for mission-critical teams, [R] AIMS accelerates processes, integrates seamlessly with existing National Security systems, and ensures secure, cost-effective deployment from the tactical edge to enterprise operations.

Sensors and data collection systems produce vast amounts of unused and uncorrelated information, which hold the potential of providing a better understanding of the battle space. Modern warfare is challenged by information overload. Evaluating complex systems is extremely hard, and the gold standard is laborious manual human evaluation. The DoD and intelligence community are further exacerbated by legacy systems, strict standards, and high-stakes scenarios. From the boardroom to the battlefield, key stakeholders need solutions that autonomously enhance mission-critical operations through seamless integration, rapid deployment, and real-time adaptability.

[R] AIMS delivers targeted solutions for diverse stakeholders across the national security ecosystem: 

• For Acquisition Professionals, Rapid Prototyping & Contract Management. [R] AIMS streamlines end-to-end contract management by enabling rapid prototyping of AI solutions, ensuring efficient procurement and seamless integration with existing DoD systems. Reduces contract processing time by up to 40% and lowers implementation costs by an average of 35%.
• For Operators: Accelerated Intelligence Processing and Decision-Making. [R] AIMS autonomously fuses data, AI agents, and language models to streamline workflows and deliver real-time insights, empowering teams to analyze and act on intelligence up to 30x faster.
• For Military Decision Makers: Accelerated, High-Confidence Decision-Making. With autonomous data fusion and agentic AI, [R] AIMS ensures rapid, high-confidence decisions – reducing decision times by improving decision accuracy by 65%. It transforms legacy systems into agile, mission-critical assets, enabling decision makers to address operational challenges swiftly from the tactical edge to strategic headquarters.
• For Policy Makers: Modernization Without Disruption. [R] AIMS enhances legacy systems with advanced AI—eliminating costly, time-consuming rip-and-replace contracts; saving the government both money and time while providing enhanced modern warfare.

[R] AIMS is Raft's AI platform, built on top of Raft's Data Platform – [R]DP, provides a secure, scalable solution for developing, deploying, and managing trustworthy AI. Seamlessly integrating with DoD systems, [R] AIMS simplifies complex workflows and delivers real-time, actionable insights through an intuitive, user-friendly, voice-activated, chat interface. [R] AIMS mission threads address cradle-to-grave contract management, drone fleet operations, persistent MTI custody, and automated object fusion.

"The DoD is saturated with legacy systems, but in today's environment, defense modernization needs to enhance the ecosystem with agentic AI capabilities and innovative platforms that will augment what has been in place for decades – rip and replace isn't the way forward, autonomous optimization is the way forward," said Shubhi Mishra, CEO, Raft. "Raft AI Mission System transforms legacy systems with AI deployment for mission-critical teams, and ensures security, scalability, and operator-level usability. The DoD now has access to a powerful, adaptive system trained on limited LLMs  – or classified data – so it's specific to what a warfighter needs to defend the country and people. Without question, [R] AI Mission System is a game-changer for defense and national security operations."

Key features include: 

• Trustworthy AI: Build directly within [R] AIMS with its calibrated autoraters to efficiently evaluate complex workflows with minimal human interaction, and ensure trust and performance.
• Autonomous, Edge-Capable Data Fusion: Seamlessly merge diverse data sources with Raft's Automated AI Engineer to build effective lightweight machine learning models in just one day—empowering non-ML experts to overcome complexities typically reserved for specialists.
• Write Collaboratively With AI: Structure projects with Raft's Interactive Writer's templates or open text area for precise control over edits, and work with a standard LLM or one customized with data to seamlessly handle tasks and follow-up instructions.
• Customizable AI Development Environment: Access to a flexible environment for developing and fine-tuning AI models, and pre-configured libraries and tools to create, test, and iterate on AI applications tailored to specific operational needs.
• Seamless Integration with Battle Management Systems: Ensure that AI applications developed on the platform can be deployed quickly and effectively in real-time combat situations.
• Scalable AI Operations: Adapt to the changing needs of the mission - from deploying small models for isolated operations to larger applications for global command centers.
• Modular: Interoperable with Raft's Data Platform – [R]DP, Maven Smart Systems, Anduril's Lattice™, BDP, LTAC, and others.
