US Military Operators to Train AI Models Themselves Under New Raft Contract

[Starmix]

According to the report, Military operators will soon be able to train and adapt AI models themselves on the battlefield, following a new US military contract awarded to Raft. The project, called Desert Sentry, will help US Central Command (CENTCOM) missions process vast amounts of data and imagery faster, giving analysts real-time tools without needing engineers or long development cycles.

The report said that the agreement was issued through the Pentagon’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, in partnership with CENTCOM, after Raft won a competitive evaluation hosted by the command.

The report also stated that Raft’s AI mission System is designed for direct use by operators, allowing them to train, update, and deploy computer vision models without coding or advanced technical skills. Using a simple dashboard, users can teach the system to identify objects such as drones, ships, or vehicles across imagery and video feeds.

The report added that beyond computer vision, the platform supports natural language interaction, predictive mission analytics, automated reporting through speech-to-text, and AI-assisted tools that streamline tasking and geospatial analysis.

Additionally, Shubhi Mishra, founder and CEO of Raft, said the company exists to turn operators into super-operators, and that starts by putting AI creation directly in their hands. The new system plugs into National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Maven workflows but provides a faster way for operators to update and deploy AI models in days rather than months.

I can picture how military commandos can adjust AI systems in field without waiting for engineers . That gives them agility to process data and images quickly to win battles without delay the street.
