Anduril alums raise $24M Series A to bring military logistics out of the Excel spreadsheet era

Rune, a startup founded by former Anduril and military veterans, has raised $24 million in a Series A funding round to modernize military logistics through AI-enabled software. Co-founder David Tuttle highlighted that current U.S. military logistics rely heavily on outdated manual processes like Excel spreadsheets and whiteboards, which are insufficient for the scale and pace of modern warfare. Rune’s flagship product, TyrOS, aims to transform these processes into intelligent, predictive supply networks that optimize resources and support distributed operations, even in disconnected environments such as remote battlefields. TyrOS leverages deep learning models to forecast supply and demand for personnel, equipment, and other resources by analyzing hundreds of environmental and logistical variables. It also incorporates threat-informed routing and integrates generative AI for real-time "course of action" generation, helping commanders make informed decisions quickly. Despite advances in large language models, TyrOS maintains traditional mathematical optimization for precise logistical tasks like aircraft load planning. Its edge-first, cloud-capable but not cloud
