Rune Technologies Secures $24M to Redefine Military Logistics with Tactical AI

July 22, 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

Rune Technologies has announced a $24 million Series A funding round, reinforcing its mission to bring cutting-edge, AI-driven logistical software to the heart of modern military operations. The round, led by Human Capital and joined by Pax VC, Washington Harbour Partners, and returning heavyweights like Andreessen Horowitz, Point72 Ventures, XYZ Venture Capital, and Forward Deployed VC, highlights the growing urgency and appetite for intelligent logistics solutions on the battlefield. With this latest investment, Rune has now raised over $30 million in just one year, underscoring its rapid traction across U.S. defense services.

At the center of Rune’s innovation is TyrOS, a logistics operating system purpose-built for the contested, communications-denied environments that define today’s battlefields. Unlike traditional systems that rely on constant server connectivity, TyrOS uses an “edge-first” design — embedding AI-powered processing directly into the field where decisions are made. This represents a seismic shift in how military logistics software functions. It means sustainment planning, asset tracking, and resupply forecasting can now happen locally, in real-time, even when disconnected from central infrastructure.

David Tuttle, Rune’s Co-Founder and CEO, explains the urgency clearly: “Our mission is to bring military logistics sophistication in line with the prowess of our fighting capabilities.” He points to the outdated tools — whiteboards and spreadsheets — still prevalent across many units. Rune’s solution doesn’t just replace them; it leapfrogs to a new paradigm in which predictive analytics, machine learning, and tactical autonomy converge to assist commanders at every level.

Veteran endorsement carries particular weight in this space, and none more so than that of retired Major General Duane Gamble, former Army G4, who described Rune’s platform as nothing short of transformational. “Throughout my 37-year career, military logisticians spent virtually all available time on the science of logistics. TyrOS leverages AI/ML and world-class engineering to do the science, freeing up logisticians and commanders to focus on the art of warfare. It’s a game changer.”

Rune’s approach is grounded in realism. With a team drawn from across the military’s branches, and with engineers routinely embedded alongside troops in the field, Rune writes software with a front-line ethos. This is not abstract, speculative tech: it’s built for—and with—warfighters, updated iteratively based on real-time feedback from operational use. That agile, need-driven feedback loop enables rapid deployment and adaptation, a rare but vital feature in the defense ecosystem.

The company’s collaboration with Palantir, through integration with the Defense OSDK, further deepens its relevance. By aligning TyrOS with Palantir’s strategic frameworks, Rune positions itself not as a closed system but as part of an open architecture ecosystem. This interoperability ensures that tactical data gathered at the edge flows seamlessly into broader strategic layers — a critical capability as the Pentagon continues to emphasize multi-domain operations and data-centric warfare.

Ross Fubini of XYZ Venture Capital, a repeat investor in Rune, is emphatic in his belief that this isn’t just a smart bet — it’s a national security imperative. “It’s urgent that the Department of Defense keeps modernizing its core systems and software with the best technology available — and that’s Rune,” he said, highlighting the need to automate granular workloads and allow military professionals to think strategically rather than drown in data management.

Having already made inroads with the Army and Marine Corps, Rune plans to use the new funding to accelerate its expansion into additional branches and deepen its deployment across the joint force. With increasing recognition, both from defense stakeholders and leading venture capitalists, Rune is staking its claim as one of the most consequential military tech startups in the U.S. — one that could well define the future of battlefield logistics.
