On June 17, 2025, Raft announced its acquisition of N3bula Systems. Raft is a defense technology company that specializes in delivering autonomous data fusion, AI/ML, and data solutions tailored for U.S. military and government operations. N3bula Systems is recognized for its role in building critical defense infrastructure that connects sensors, shooters, and weapons systems across services and domains, enabling modern joint operations and mission success.
The acquisition is expected by Raft to accelerate defense modernization by enhancing mission-critical AI capabilities and integrating unified data services for next-generation military systems. Raft reports that it expects this acquisition to create a unified AI and data backbone that “transforms fragmented military systems into a seamless, machine-speed operational network.” The unified backbone aims to enable faster decision-making and improved system interoperability.
Reports state that the infrastructure engineered by N3bula, combined with Raft’s agentic AI products like its AI Mission System, [R]AIMS, is expected to result in a partnership that “enables 10x faster decision-making through autonomous data fusion while providing 24/7 threat monitoring.”
Raft’s founder and CEO, Shubhi Mishra, described N3bula Systems as “one of the most impactful teams in defense technology – the minds behind a critical defense infrastructure.” Commenting on the acquisition, Mishra added:
“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.”
