The US Army has awarded Rune Technologies $4.1 million to expand its TyrOS logistics software across the 1st Cavalry Division.
The company will use the funding to connect logistics demands with unmanned aircraft and ground vehicles for autonomous resupply.
Rune demonstrated TyrOS during the army’s Pegasus Charge 3 exercise, where the software built a logistics demand picture, generated a course of action, and tasked an unmanned aircraft to carry out a resupply mission.
Under the new award, Rune will expand the system across the division through operational exercises and soldier feedback. The effort will also integrate vehicle and equipment data to support maintenance and aviation readiness and digitize preventive maintenance checks and services.
“A division can have all the unmanned platforms it wants, without knowing what its units need and when, autonomy only solves half the problem,” Rune CEO David Tuttle said.
The company said that the service will also use TyrOS to connect patient status, treatment capacity, evacuation routes, and available manned and unmanned platforms to help plan casualty movement across multiple levels of care.
Using TyrOS
TyrOS is Rune’s logistics software platform for managing supply, transportation, maintenance, personnel, equipment, and geospatial information in a common operating picture. It uses predictive analytics and optimization to help planning.
In June, the US Army awarded Rune Technologies a five-year, $99-million contract for TyrOS, granting units access to AI-powered tools for anticipating shortages and planning sustainment in contested environments.
In May, the US Marine Corps integrated TyrOS into Project Dynamis to provide predictive logistics capabilities within the Marine Air-Ground Task Force command-and-control architecture.
Earlier, in February, Rune joined Anduril’s $99.6-million Next-Generation Command and Control prototype program for the army.
