"When I think of TyrOS, it's really about how do we take the most incredible Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force logistician in those services, supercharge them, and then replicate them a thousand times so that we can actually keep up with the pace of future conflicts." Our co-founder and CTO Peter Goldsborough sat down with Neal Bloom🎩 on the Tacos in Tech podcast to discuss why military logistics hasn't been digitized at the tactical level, what happens when supply lines can't keep pace with operational tempo, and how TyrOS addresses that gap. Listen to the full episode at the link in comments.

Logistics keeps forces supplied, equipped, and ready to operate, and it’s time to give the Marines doing that work the recognition they deserve. This Thursday, March 26, we'll be sponsoring and attending the Marine Corps Association's Installations & Logistics Awards Dinner in Arlington, VA, an event honoring top-performing Marines in the logistics community. Good to be in the room with people who understand that sustainment isn't support; it's what enables operations.

We're at the Association of the United States Army - AUSA Global Force Symposium in Huntsville this week. The Army is focused on Transformation in Contact: iterative, outcomes-focused modernization tested in realistic operational conditions. That's how we've been building TyrOS from the beginning with rapid field testing, soldier feedback loops, and refinement based on what works in the field. Looking forward to hearing from senior Army leaders on modernization priorities and connecting with sustainers working on the same problems. If you're at the show and want to talk logistics software that works at the tactical edge, reach out.

🇺🇸🤖 The US Army has awarded Rune Technologies a $2-million contract to deploy its AI logistics software in contested environments as part of the PORTAL (Predict, Optimize, Recommend, and Track for Adaptive Logistics) program. Over the next 18 months, the company will work with the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, to deploy its TyrOS platform, replacing legacy manual sustainment processes tested with the 25th Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Division, and XVIII Airborne Corps. Co-founder and CEO David Tuttle said that the deal comes as “the army faces increasingly complex logistics challenges as near-peer adversaries develop capabilities to disrupt traditional supply chains.”

"Autonomy on the battlefield is going to start with logistics. If you're forced to choose between putting a human in a fighter jet vs putting a human in a supply truck, you're probably going to choose the fighter jet." At the Tectonic Defense Summit last week, our co-founder and CTO Peter Goldsborough shared why autonomy will likely appear first in the logistics backbone of military operations, where supply convoys and resupply missions face constant risk. Thanks to Wendy R. Anderson, Zane Mountcastle, and Eliot Pence for joining the conversation.

The US Army is investing in predictive logistics. Today, we’re announcing that the U.S. Army has awarded Rune a $2M Direct to Phase II SBIR contract to deploy our TyrOS predictive logistics platform with the 1st Cavalry Division. Through the Army’s PORTAL (Predict, Optimize, Recommend, and Track for Adaptive Logistics) program, we’ll work alongside soldiers at Fort Hood over the next 18 months to test and refine software that helps logisticians: - Track assets in real time - Predict shortages before they become emergencies - Generate optimized resupply plans, even when networks are unreliable This award builds on our ongoing deployments with the 25th Infantry Division and 4th Infantry Division through the Army’s NGC2 program. Grateful to the Army Applications Laboratory and Army FUZE for the partnership, and to the soldiers who keep pushing us to build better software. Read more at the link in comments.

AI can compress decision timelines to seconds, but logistics still has to move supplies in the real world. Today at the Tectonic Defense Summit in Austin, our co-founder and CTO Peter Goldsborough is speaking on the panel “AI on the Battlefield: The New Era of Planning, Integration, and C2.” In contested environments, the constraint isn’t the algorithm. It’s fuel, maintenance, and time. Peter will be joined by Wendy R. Anderson, Zane Mountcastle, and Eliot Pence at 12 PM in the Main Garden.

The Indo-Pacific is one of the toughest logistics environments in modern warfare. Long distances, limited infrastructure, and communications that can be degraded. The Rune team is at the Pacific Operational Science & Technology Conference in Honolulu this week, where operators, technologists, and planners are discussing how to make logistics systems work in contested environments. If you’re attending and want to talk about how TyrOS is built to operate at the tactical edge, even when networks aren’t reliable, come find us.

Planning at machine speed sounds cool until your ships run out of rockets. At the Tectonic Defense Summit in Austin on March 11–12, our co-founder and CTO Peter Goldsborough will dig into why logistics and sustainment can’t be an afterthought in AI-powered C2. You can have the best targeting system in the world, but if your trucks don't have fuel to get supplies forward, none of it matters. Catch Peter on the panel “AI on the Battlefield: The New Era of Planning, Integration, and C2” on March 11th at 12 pm in the main garden.

"But what happens if soldiers can't connect to the cloud and can't relay to logisticians what they need?" In environments with denied communications and connectivity, logisticians and commanders need systems that can operate standalone. Business Insider covered how Rune's TyrOS is built for exactly that. TyrOS uses AI and real-time data to track consumption, predict maintenance needs, and analyze weapon firing rates to forecast when units will run out of ammunition. As our CEO and co-founder David Tuttle told BI: "If I'm a logistician using TyrOS, I want TyrOS to be usable, stand-alone as a single player from a predictive standpoint and in a planning standpoint, even if I don't have connectivity." Operations don't stop when connectivity does. Read the full article at the link in comments!
