Enhancing Battlefield Decision-Making

The single-award Integration of Digital Ecosystem Applications, or IDEA, contract, issued under the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Innovation Office, aims to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical technologies to the warfighter.

Through the GSA Phase III SBIR contract, Raft will provide critical data to enhance decision-making in the battlefield, particularly in connected and denied, degraded, intermittent and limited-bandwidth, or DDIL, environments.
