Leidos and Rune accelerate AI-enabled logistics to support Indo-Pacific military operations

Leidos and Rune Technologies Inc. are partnering to help military organizations anticipate logistics requirements, improve resource availability, and strengthen mission readiness through AI-enabled predictive sustainment capabilities designed for contested and distributed operational environments.

The partnership combines Rune’s AI-enabled predictive logistics and sustainment mission command software with Leidos’ AI-enabled decision advantage and course-of-action generation capabilities to provide commanders with greater sustainment insight and decision support across contested environments, including the unique distance, time, scale and maritime challenges of the Indo-Pacific region.

“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.”

The partnership brings together complementary capabilities designed to help military organizations sustain operations where speed, distance and uncertainty can challenge readiness.

“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.”

The Leidos and Rune partnership reflects Leidos’ NorthStar 2030 strategy and its focus on AI-enabled decision advantage, mission software and operational readiness, helping commanders anticipate sustainment requirements before they become mission challenges.
