Defense technology company Raft has acquired N3bula Systems for an undisclosed sum to advance mission-critical defense modernization to support the next generation of unified joint force operations.
Raft said Tuesday the acquisition establishes a unified artificial intelligence and data backbone designed to transform fragmented military systems into a machine-speed operational network to accelerate decision-making on the battlefield.
Advancing Agentic AI Deployment for National Security Missions
Through the transaction, Raft will integrate N3bula’s fires integration expertise with its AI Mission System [R]AIMS and other agentic AI products to deliver unified command and control capabilities to warfighters and maintain operational advantage in contested environments.
The combination will support the current administration’s defense priorities, back the mission of the Department of the Air Force’s Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications and Battle Management, and advance the Golden Dome project and other critical initiatives.
“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,” added Mishra, a two-time Wash100 awardee.
