Raft, in partnership with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), announced the award of the U.S. Air Force Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) HOPE 2.0 contract. This award supports the Air Force's continued efforts to accelerate the operationalization of national space-based assets—transforming strategic intelligence into actionable capabilities at the tactical edge.

The TENCAP mission is designed to bridge the longstanding gap between high-level space and intelligence systems and frontline warfighter operations. By leveraging existing national capabilities including satellite-derived data and Title 50 resources—TENCAP seeks to enhance situational awareness, reduce decision latency, and enable more agile responses to dynamic threat environments.

"Through TENCAP HOPE 2.0, the Air Force is advancing a critical mission: ensuring the power of our national space assets are accessible and operationally relevant for those at the tip of the spear," said Shubhi Mishra, Founder and CEO of Raft. "Together with SAIC, Raft is honored to deliver new era defense technology, secure platforms, and unified data architectures that enable a unified joint force from space to the tactical edge."

Under the TENCAP HOPE 2.0 award, Raft will deliver a suite of enabling technologies that enhance the Air Force's ability to operationalize national space-based intelligence. This includes the Raft Data Platform ([R]DP), a unified data translation layer that fuses space-derived and other national sources into a coherent, real-time operational picture; the Raft Application Platform ([R]AP), a secure, DevSecOps-ready environment designed for the rapid deployment of mission-critical applications across all classification levels; and agile, modular architectures built to support IL2 through IL6+ environments—ensuring secure, scalable integration of emerging capabilities at the speed of relevance.

This award underscores the Department of the Air Force's commitment to harnessing commercial innovation and modern engineering practices to advance joint all-domain operations. TENCAP HOPE 2.0 is a vital step in enabling faster, more informed decision-making in increasingly complex battle spaces—where the ability to act on space-derived intelligence in real-time can provide a decisive advantage.
