Rune Technologies has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase 1 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award to advance AI-enabled logistics command and control for Agile Combat Employment operations. The effort applies Rune’s TyrOS platform to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF).
The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX partnered to streamline the SBIR and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process through faster proposal-to-award timelines, broader access for small businesses, and reduced bureaucratic overhead. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018, expanding the range of innovations it funds, and now Rune Technologies will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.
“Our mission has always been to modernize military sustainment through software and artificial intelligence,” said David Tuttle, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rune Technologies. “This award allows us to bring that mission to the U.S. Air Force by developing capabilities that help commanders anticipate logistics demands, synchronize resources, and project combat power across distributed operations. We’re honored by the opportunity and look forward to working alongside Air Force operators to advance the future of Agile Combat Employment.”
