Raft, a leading defense tech company, dedicated to empowering the U.S. military and government agencies with autonomous data fusion and cutting-edge AI/ML, today announced a strategic partnership with Appian (NASDAQ: APPN), a leader in process orchestration. Together, Raft and Appian are delivering a contested logistics Cloud solution to the tactical edge in the Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), a hotly contested global theater.
The partnership combines Raft’s real-time, edge-ready autonomous data fusion with Appian’s secure, enterprise-grade process orchestration to address one of the military’s most urgent operational challenges: sustaining distributed forces across the vast Indo-Pacific. In an environment defined by strategic competition with China, even small delays or data gaps can jeopardize mission success—making speed, precision, and integration critical.
“Contested logistics in INDOPACOM is one of the hardest problems the military faces,” said Shubhi Mishra, founder and CEO of Raft. “This partnership brings together the best in data fusion and process automation to solve it—fast, at scale, and where it matters most.” The Raft-Appian solution integrates fragmented supply chain and operational data into a unified ecosystem—enabling faster, informed decision-making from the command center to the tactical edge.
“Warfighting demands don’t wait—and neither can logistics,” said Jason Adolf, Vice President, Global Public Sector, Appian. “By uniting the Appian Platform – connecting people, systems, and AI – with Raft’s real-time autonomous data fusion, we’re equipping INDOPACOM to respond faster and with greater confidence in the world’s most contested battlespace.”
Raft’s autonomous data fusion and agentic AI capabilities are trusted by more than 25 federal agencies—including the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force—and play a critical role in modernizing operations across INDOPACOM. The Appian platform is trusted by the US Department of Defense and every service branch of the US Armed Forces to improve mission critical processes. Together, they’re delivering the logistics advantage the nation needs against near-peer adversarial engagements, as well as strengthening security in the INDOPACOM region at large.
