Leidos and Rune Technologies Advance AI-Powered Military Logistics

Modern military operations increasingly depend on accurate logistics planning across dispersed and contested environments. To address these challenges, Leidos and Rune Technologies are combining their AI capabilities to help defense organizations anticipate sustainment requirements, optimize resource allocation, and improve operational readiness.

The partnership integrates Rune's AI-enabled predictive logistics and sustainment mission command software with Leidos' AI-powered decision advantage and course-of-action generation technologies. Together, the combined solution provides commanders with greater visibility into logistics operations while supporting faster and more informed decision-making.

AI Supports Predictive Sustainment in Contested Environments

The collaboration is designed to improve military logistics in environments where long distances, operational uncertainty, degraded communications, and distributed forces create significant sustainment challenges.

A primary focus is the Indo-Pacific region, where complex maritime operations and geographic scale require commanders to anticipate logistics demands before they affect mission execution.

"Sustaining forces across the vast distances of the Indo-Pacific requires the ability to understand logistics demand before it affects mission execution," said Jason McCarthy, Leidos senior vice president, Airborne & Mission Solutions. "Together with Rune, we're giving commanders the insight and decision support they need to improve logistics visibility and increase readiness in complex and dispersed operating areas, today, not years from now."

Combining AI Decision Support with Predictive Logistics

Rune Technologies contributes its AI-powered predictive logistics platform, designed to operate effectively in contested environments where communications may be denied or degraded. Leidos complements these capabilities through enterprise AI, data integration, and decision-support technologies that assist commanders with operational planning and resource management.

The integrated solution is intended to connect logistics planning, operational decision-making, and mission execution through AI-driven analysis, helping military organizations improve sustainment across distributed operations.

"Technology alone doesn't solve logistics challenges in the Indo-Pacific," said David Tuttle, Co-Founder & CEO of Rune Technologies. "Winning in this environment requires using technology to connect data across planning, decision-making, and execution in complex operational environments to enable sustainment at speed. By combining Rune's AI-enabled predictive logistics capabilities with Leidos' enterprise data integration expertise, we're helping commanders do exactly that."

Supporting Future Military Readiness Through AI

The partnership aligns with Leidos' NorthStar 2030 strategy, which focuses on expanding AI-enabled decision advantage, mission software, and operational readiness capabilities across defense environments.

By combining predictive logistics, enterprise AI, and mission software, Leidos and Rune Technologies aim to help military organizations anticipate supply requirements earlier, strengthen operational resilience, and improve readiness across increasingly complex operational theaters.
