    Raft Buys N3bula Systems to Strengthen AI Backbone for Joint Force Ops

    Raft has acquired N3bula Systems, a defense technology company known for building critical infrastructure that connects sensors, weapons systems and platforms across military domains.

    N3bula selected Raft from a competitive field to combine its fires integration capabilities with Raft’s work in agentic artificial intelligence.

    The combined team will support unified, machine-speed operations across domains and allied forces. Their joint focus: accelerating decision-making and kill chains while strengthening the AI and data backbone that underpins modern warfare.

    “N3bula Systems is one of the most impactful teams in defense technology—the minds behind a critical defense infrastructure,” said Shubhi Mishra, founder and CEO of Raft. “They chose to partner with us because we represent a New Prime. We embed directly with warfighters as trusted edge nodes, scale proven AI across mission-critical operations, and deliver real solutions to real battlefield problems—faster than established players. This signals a fundamental shift toward edge-native defense innovation.

    The acquisition creates a unified AI and data backbone that turns fragmented military systems into a seamless, machine-speed operational network. It aligns with the new administration’s defense priorities, advances initiatives like Golden Dome and supports the Department of the Air Force’s PEO C3BM mission.

    “The decision came down to mission alignment and execution capability,” said Ryan Mize, founder and president of N3bula Systems. “Raft demonstrates consistent delivery of what warfighters actually ask for. As a new prime, they represent the future of defense contracting—impact over bureaucracy, and we want to be part of that.”

    The partnership integrates Raft’s agentic AI products, including its AI Mission System [R]AIMS, to enable decision-making up to 10 times faster through autonomous data fusion. It provides 24/7 threat monitoring, zero-latency tactical-to-strategic handoffs and 99.9% uptime in contested environments, with seamless AI agent deployment across both legacy and modern systems.

    The acquisition — Raft’s first since its May 2024 investment from Washington Harbour Partners — marks a major step in scaling innovation while maintaining the mission-first focus that sets Raft apart from traditional defense contractors, the company said.
