Shift5 and Rune Technologies forge strategic defense partnership. Shift5 and Rune Technologies recently announced a strategic partnership focused on transforming how the U.S. military sustains its platforms. By combining Shift5's near real-time onboard data collection and analysis across weapon system platforms with Rune's AI-enabled predictive logistics software, the partnership delivers a powerful new approach to keeping assets mission-ready. The joint force faces a persistent readiness challenge: the gap between what's happening on a platform and the historical data typically used to make sustainment decisions. Shift5 provides continuous, normalized data directly from air, maritime, and ground vehicles, enabling visibility into platform health, usage, and maintenance indicators in real time. Rune's TyrOS platform applies AI-enabled analytics and sustainment decision support to that operational picture, helping commanders anticipate requirements, optimize resources, and coordinate sustainment activities across the force. "When it comes to addressing readiness challenges across the services, this partnership fills a critical gap," said Toby Magsig, President and Interim CEO of Shift5. "Shift5 extracts real-time data from platforms, analyzes it to deliver capabilities like predictive maintenance, and makes it accessible across a common data layer to power next-gen applications. Rune puts that data to work across the broader logistics enterprise, cutting lead times and reducing parts shortages." "Platform health data is incredibly valuable, and the real opportunity is what happens when that information is integrated into the larger sustainment ecosystem," said Dave Tuttle, CEO of Rune Technologies. "By combining Shift5's exceptional platform level data and information sets with TyrOS, commanders can better anticipate maintenance requirements, coordinate logistics resources, support autonomous resupply operations, and make more informed sustainment decisions across the battlespace at all echelons." Both companies are supporting the Army's Next-Generation Command and Control (NGC2) prototype effort and are actively working with other stakeholders across the Department of War to improve platform readiness and drive predictive sustainment and contested logistics modernization. Contested logistics is one of six priorities identified by the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, underscoring the urgency of the capability both companies are working to deliver.

Shift5 and Raglan partner to deliver next-generation security for military and government vehicles. May 14, 2026, 08:42 ET Partnership combines software-defined vehicle architecture with operational technology monitoring to modernize vehicle fleets ARLINGTON, Va. and WILMINGTON, N.C., May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Shift5, the Operational Intelligence platform for defense and transportation systems, and Raglan, a defense technology company specializing in software-defined vehicle control systems, today announced a strategic partnership to modernize and harden military and government vehicles against evolving cyber and electronic warfare threats. Shift5 and Raglan bring complementary, commercially available capabilities validated across defense and government platforms, delivering physical and cyber hardening capabilities to vehicle fleets. "Shift5 + Raglan disrupt the status quo of the uparmored vehicle market," said Toby Magsig, President and Interim CEO of Shift5. "This partnership keeps warfighters, diplomats, and senior officials safe as they travel in secured, monitored, and mission-ready platforms." "We built Raglan to remove the constraints that limit what warfighters can do with their vehicles. Shift5 adds real-time visibility across that open architecture," said Joseph Comiskey, CEO of Raglan. "No constraints, no compromises - a capability set that keeps vehicles ahead of the threat." Shift5 and Raglan will demonstrate their combined capabilities at SOF Week 2026, May 18-21, in Tampa, Florida.

Raglan is a trusted partner delivering vehicle solutions for USSOCOM and USAF Global Strike Command. SOURCE Shift5

Shift5, an operational intelligence platform for defence and transportation systems, has partnered with Anduril Industries on the US Army's Next Generation Command and Control initiative. The company's platform collects and translates vehicle health metrics across different vehicle types, feeding real-time data through Anduril's Lattice Mesh to provide commanders with visibility into readiness and sustainment. Shift5 integrated its capability into Lattice Mesh in two months, enabling live demonstration during the Army's Ivy Sting 4 exercise. The partnership is part of Anduril's $99.6 million prototype effort, which includes collaborators such as Palantir, Microsoft and others. Founded by former military officers who helped establish US Army Cyber Command, Shift5 provides operational intelligence for military and transportation fleets, focusing on threat detection and failure prevention.
