The US Army has selected Rune Technologies’ TyrOS for sustainment operations under its Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) program.

Rune is among the companies receiving initial NGC2 application awards worth about $93.6 million collectively over one year. The applications will be delivered to I Corps as the army moves NGC2 from division-level prototyping toward broader fielding.

TyrOS will provide sustainment mission command across I Corps, giving officers a shared view of what units have and what they need. 

Rune’s selection follows NGC2 testing by the service. The 4th Infantry Division used TyrOS during Project Convergence Capstone 6 in July, while the 25th Infantry Division used the platform as its sustainment application during Lightning Surge 5 in Hawaii.

TyrOS’ Footprint

TyrOS is Rune’s software platform for military logistics and sustainment. 

It tracks supplies and other resources, forecasts demand, and helps commanders plan resupply operations. The platform is designed to work across different echelons and at the tactical edge, including during denied, degraded, intermittent, or low-bandwidth communications.

In September, the US Army awarded Rune $4.1-million to expand TyrOS across the 1st Cavalry Division. The system will link supply requirements with unmanned aircraft and ground vehicles to support autonomous resupply.

Rune demonstrated TyrOS during the army’s Pegasus Charge 3 exercise, where the software identified a logistics requirement, generated a resupply plan, and tasked an unmanned aircraft to deliver supplies.

Earlier, in May, the US Marine Corps integrated TyrOS into Project Dynamis to provide predictive logistics capabilities within the Marine Air-Ground Task Force’s command-and-control architecture.
