Raft, the defense technology leader powering a new era of autonomous warfare, announced its acquisition with N3bula Systems-a powerhouse partnership that will dominate the next era of unified joint force operations. N3bula Systems-the pioneering team behind a critical defense infrastructure that seamlessly connects sensors, shooters and weapons systems across services and domains-selected Raft from a highly competitive field, fusing proven fires integration expertise with cutting-edge agentic AI to deliver the unified, machine-speed operational backbone that transforms how America fights and wins.
“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.

The acquisition creates a unified AI and data backbone that transforms fragmented military systems into a seamless, machine-speed operational network. This directly supports the new administration’s defense priorities while advancing critical initiatives like Golden Dome and supporting the mission for the Department of the Air Force’s PEO C3BM.
“The decision came down to mission alignment and execution capability,” said Ryan Mize, Founder and President of N3bula Systems. “Raft demonstrates consistent delivery of what warfighters actually ask for. As a new prime, they represent the future of defense contracting-impact over bureaucracy, and we want to be part of that.”
“N3bula Systems’ infrastructure expertise combined with Raft’s agentic AI creates unified command and control operating at machine speed across every domain,” said Bhaarat Sharma, CTO of Raft. This technological combination enables the seamless sensor-to-shooter integration that military leaders have identified as essential for maintaining operational advantage against near-peer threats at global scale.
