MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Raft, a defense technology company building the next era of autonomous warfare, announced today that AOC-Anywhere played a leading role in Resolute Force Pacific (REFORPAC) 2025 – the largest U.S. Air Force-led contingency response exercise in the Indo-Pacific region. 

AOC-Anywhere was selected by U.S. Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) as the primary command and control system for the 613th Air Operations Center (AOC), marking a major milestone for both Raft and modern military operations.

“This exercise is proof that command and control no longer needs to be tied to a physical building,” said Shubhi Mishra, Founder & CEO of Raft. “AOC-Anywhere is data unification and AI natively at the edge. It gives operators what they need most – flexibility, speed, and reliability in the field. We’re proud that AOC-Anywhere was chosen for such a complex and prominent exercise, and we’re even more proud to demonstrate our proven value, under pressure, across thousands of miles and dozens of sights.”

REFORPAC ran from July 10 through August 8 and spanned over 3,000 miles. The exercise involved more than 12,000 personnel, approximately 400 aircraft, and operations at 50 different locations across the Pacific. It was designed to test the U.S. military’s ability to operate in some of the most challenging environments in the world – places where communications can break down and infrastructure is limited.

At the heart of the command structure was AOC-Anywhere – a modern, AI-powered system built to operate in exactly those conditions. The system is designed for use in disconnected, remote, or contested environments, where traditional command centers simply can’t function.

By using AOC-Anywhere, the 613th AOC was able to run real-time operations without needing to be tied to a single base or location. The system helped streamline everything from air tasking orders and mission briefings to summary reports and operational data. It also connected seamlessly with the military’s existing systems to unify mission data and help operators make faster and smarter decisions.

“We are delivering advanced, mission-ready AI solutions that don’t just perform in labs or demos – they work where it matters most: in the hands of warfighters at the tactical edge,” said Trey Coleman, Raft’s Chief Product Officer and a former U.S. Air Force Commander. Raft’s products are built to scale—across missions, domains, and environments—and to deliver in exactly the kind of high-stakes scenarios where decisions in seconds can mean saving lives.

The selection of AOC-Anywhere for such a large-scale, international exercise is a major sign that the Department of War is reimaging the future of weapons systems and innovative warfare. It reflects how military leaders are looking to new technologies to improve coordination, cut down decision-making time, and empower units at every level.
