Latent AI and Rajant Health Incorporated (RHI) Partner to deliver fleet-scale, mission-ready AI at the tactical edge. Combining Rajant's Kinetic Mesh(R) networking foundation with RHI's Cowbell platform and Latent AI's edge-native AI to deliver resilient intelligence in DDIL environments. [PRINCETON, N.J. and MALVERN, Pa.] - May 14, 2026 - Defense and industrial operators face a persistent problem: AI that performs well in controlled demonstrations but fails to deliver reliable, real-time intelligence in denied, disrupted, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) environments. The result is delayed decisions, stranded assets, and lost operational advantage. Latent AI today announced a strategic partnership with Rajant Health Incorporated (RHI), a majority-owned subsidiary of Rajant Corporation, that solves this challenge at fleet scale. Rajant provides the core Kinetic Mesh(R) networking platform that keeps systems connected in motion. RHI extends that foundation with the Cowbell distributed edge platform, unifying resilient mesh networking, distributed compute, local data pipelines, and workload orchestration. Latent AI multiplies that capability with an edge-native platform that optimizes AI for target hardware and enables secure, over-the-air deployment, monitoring, and updates, even when cloud connectivity is unavailable. Together, the three layers deliver mission-ready AI that operates reliably across heterogeneous hardware in the harshest environments, without requiring on-site engineering teams. The combined solution enables organizations to: - Deploy and update AI models across distributed fleets with minimal reengineering - Run real-time inference locally during fully disconnected or bandwidth-constrained operations - Maintain continuous model lifecycle management without on-site AI expertise - Adapt intelligence in real time as mission conditions change Latent AI has proven these capabilities in U.S. Army Project Linchpin (reducing deployment timelines from weeks to minutes) and U.S. Navy Project AMMO (33% faster model update cycles in connectivity-denied environments). "AI at the edge is not just a model deployment problem; it is a lifecycle problem across hardware, data, connectivity, and operational constraints," said Jags Kandasamy, CEO and co founder of Latent AI. "RHI's Cowbell gives AI a true operational foundation. Together, we're enabling AI to deploy, adapt, and sustain itself at fleet scale, wherever the mission demands it." Robert J. Schena, CEO of RHI, added: "This partnership reflects a fundamental shift from infrastructure that connects systems to platforms that operationalize intelligence. With Cowbell, RHI provides the distributed execution layer, and Latent AI ensures intelligence can move, adapt, and scale across that fabric." This joint solution was announced and showcased recently at the Rajant 2026 Partner Summit in Wickenburg, Arizona. About Latent AI Latent AI is the trusted edge AI company delivering mission-critical intelligence at the tactical edge. Its proven, edge-native solutions enable defense and industrial organizations to deploy, adapt, and sustain AI in denied and contested environments, interoperable across platforms, field-updatable in real time, and built for operators of every skill level.

Rugged computing, AI/ML, and edge sensors will be shown by One Stop Systems at SOF Week 2026. May 13, 2026 Assistant Managing Editor Military Embedded Systems SOF WEEK 2026-TAMPA. Rugged systems provider One Stop Systems (OSS) announced that it will showcase a range of mission-ready products and integrated solutions designed to support the modern warfighter at next week's SOF Week 2026 exhibition, set to be held May 18-21 in Tampa, Florida. The OSS SOF Week preview announcement stated that the compay will feature rugged artificial intelligence (AI) compute solutions designed for Special Operations Forces (SOF) applications, including its 1U fully immersive server and size, weight, and power (SWaP)-optimized rugged embedded solutions designed to bring advanced compute performance to vehicles, uncrewed aerial systems (UASs), and soldier-worn applications. At its SOF Week booth (#5006), OSS will collaborate with its integrated technology partners, including Latent AI, which will highlight deployable edge AI software solutions designed for tactical environments; Maris Technologies, which will show embedded mission-ready platforms for defense edge deployments; and Tauro Tech, which will show scalable sensor fusion, high-speed camera integration, and AI-enabled decision support for demanding operational environments. Featured companies. 2235 Enterprise St, Suite #110 Escondido, CA 92029

Latent AI will demonstrate new physical AI capabilities at SOF Week 2026 in Tampa, Florida, from 18–21 May. The edge AI company is showcasing a tracking and terminal-homing capability for Group 1 and 2 Unmanned Aerial Systems that enables autonomous mission execution. Built on Latent AI's Field Tactical Suite, the technology integrates Automated Target Recognition with flight control on embedded hardware, allowing drones to autonomously track operator-designated targets and engage without additional input during final flight phases. This reduces cognitive load for Special Operations Forces operators. At Booth 5006, Latent AI will partner with One Stop Systems to demonstrate an interactive Unreal Engine digital twin environment for mission practice and war-game scenarios before field deployment.
