Armada

The question isn't whether AI is coming to special operations. It's already there.  The real question is whether the compute infrastructure can keep up where connectivity is intermittent, logistics are constrained, and teams are small. That's a harder problem than most people building AI tools are actually solving for.  At SOFWeek, we're focusing on conversations that keep coming up: - How does a sovereign AI stack actually integrate into existing SOF architecture and workflows?  - Which frontier models can realistically run at the tactical edge, fully air-gapped, and what does that unlock for operational decision-making?  - When the requirement calls for lightweight and ruggedized, what options exist beyond the large form factor, and how do they connect back to the broader compute layer? At Armada we build AI infrastructure for exactly these environments. Our platform is designed to process data where it's generated, without waiting on a connection that may or may not be there. Come and bring your toughest challenges to us at the Outpost. Russell Cihal Tori McCaffrey Derek M. Heese Keegan Jones

Thank you CNBC for recognizing Armada on the CNBC Disruptor 50 list. We are building the infrastructure required for AI to run where the data, energy, and mission live. Our Galleons are already delivering real-time data processing for customers across defense, energy, industrial operations, and remote environments. Galleon Forge One is the next step: continuous American manufacturing of modular data centers, built to deploy AI infrastructure at speed, scale, and with sovereignty.

Atlas from Armada is now TX-RAMP Level 2 certified, and we’re cleared to bring distributed AI infrastructure to Texas state agencies. TX-RAMP Level 2 is the highest bar for solutions in Texas. It covers cloud services handling confidential and regulated state data. Earning it means Texas agencies can move directly to deployment, with the compliance foundation already in place. What that looks like in practice: Atlas gives operators a single pane of glass to manage connected assets, monitor performance, and put that compute to work.  Atlas also opens up the gateway to all the opportunities to implement real world AI unlocked by Galleon and the full Armada stack. No lengthy procurement delays. No months of security review standing between an agency and operational sovereignty. Texas is building its AI infrastructure. Armada is now part of that build. 

Sovereignty isn't a switch you flip. It's infrastructure you control. That's why Armada and Microsoft created a new opportunity for sovereign private cloud and AI solutions. Now governments, defense and regulated industries can run mission-critical AI workloads at the edge, air-gapped, auditable, and fully under their own authority. Your data. Your decision on where it stays and when it leaves. Learn more below. 

AI infrastructure rarely grows in straight lines. Budgets change. Projects expand. Demands shift. Armada’s partnership with Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is a perfect example. They began with Atlas, managing terminal connectivity across the state's vast landscape. Then they expanded with Galleon, enabling real-time processing of critical drone data during emergency response operations. Compute that grows with the mission, not ahead of it. 

When delivering compute to support cutting-edge AI workloads, there’s no substitute for speed. That’s why when an international defense organization needed a sovereign deployment immediately, they chose Armada. Real-time data fusion, satellite visual analysis, and advanced sensor processing are now fully operational on our 40 foot-modular data center, Triton. And it all deployed in a matter of days. When the mission can't wait, neither can the infrastructure. Learn more below.
