“Today’s threats change fast, so our systems must adapt faster than the threats they counter,” said Matt Magaña, president of space, defense and national security at Voyager. “By combining next-generation sensor architectures with open designs and built-in AI, we’re creating agile surveillance solutions ready for platforms across ground, air, surface, space and cyber.”

The effort focuses on the development of digital signal processing capabilities for multi-domain operations and delivery of situational awareness tools. These tools fuse information from multiple sources into a single, clear picture, helping decision-makers act faster and stay ahead in fast-moving situations.

To address emerging ISR and cyber operations, Voyager is developing GPU-based surveillance systems enabled by AI to support irregular warfare in near-peer engagements, tracking threats in real-time, as they operate in both military and civilian RF infrastructures.

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.

A congressionally mandated rapid-acquisition organization, AF TENCAP exploits existing air, space, cyber, national, and global Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems to accelerate delivery of innovative and secure warfighting capabilities across Air Force and Joint military missions for the Department of Defense (DoD).

The HOPE 2.0 contract integrates Intelligence Community capabilities with urgent DoD operational needs. SAIC will provide comprehensive Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) mission engineering services to help AF TENCAP create near program of record ready prototypes that lead to improved warfighting superiority and decision dominance in all domains.

“To deter conflict and win wars in today’s data-centric battlefield, warfighters must have integrated actionable data including the full power of Intelligence Community capabilities,” said Vincent DiFronzo, SAIC executive vice president of Air Force and combatant commands business group. “Using our proven expertise in rapid mission integration, SAIC leverages advanced commercial technologies to keep the DoD on the cutting edge of all-domain warfighting capabilities.”

Incorporating warfighter feedback, SAIC will support rapid prototype development and mission integration for AF TENCAP and its 65 agencies and commands across the DoD and Intelligence Community. This includes partnering with more than a dozen traditional and non-traditional defense companies to deliver the nation’s most advanced technology to DoD Combatant Commands.

“SAIC is proud to be a partner of choice to accelerate next-gen warfighting concepts into operational reality,” said DiFronzo. “We’re excited to help Air Force TENCAP achieve evolutionary and revolutionary warfighting improvements in capability, performance, and cost savings. In a larger strategic sense, HOPE 2.0 shows the urgent need of a data-centric mission integration approach for the military, intelligence, and space communities. TENCAP’s rapid development approach is fully aligned with DoD’s Software Acquisition Pathway and will be essential to contribute to national priorities such as deterrence in the Pacific and Golden Dome for America, keeping our military the best in the world.”

The Intelligence Systems Support Office (ISSO), SAF/OC/CDMR, requires data analysis in support of ISSO projects, including the development of algorithms and visualizations from the data. Visualization will be a dashboard documenting behavior detected in analyzed data based on an ongoing initiative to a specific project use case. The dashboards should allow user input to create analytics use cases.

Database design and optimization is required to accommodate novel use cases. Part of the process of building the dashboards requires the testing and development of innovative methods for interactive mapping of large quantities of data on the order of 2 million points visualized in an interactive, zoomable, pannable map created by Leaflet and deck.gl, utilizing GeoArrow. The dashboards require development of Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) processes to ingest data based on on-the-fly user-defined requirements.

ISSO requires Machine Learning (ML) analysis to power the dashboards with the following requirements:

1. Computing clusters of points within physical proximity of each other. This comparison must be able to be performed on over 1 million points in under 1 minute.
2. Perform geographic clustering of identified point centroids to determine clusters. These clusters must be converted into geographic polygons.
3. Perform social network clustering of points found to be in close proximity of each other.
4. Model, using an ensemble of time series forecasting algorithms, usual activity in an area of interest (AOI) and signal an alert when actual activity deviates outside an acceptable range. The modeling process must take no longer than 5 minutes to calculate.

The data ingestion process for the dashboards requires consuming commercially available data or ingesting from USG-provided Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on Top Secret (TS) networks. The data must be stored in an open source database with optimizations for geospatial and temporal data.

These algorithms, dashboards and reports will be deployed in containers onto secure networks that support the Defense Intelligence Enterprise. Furthermore, allowing all Department of Defense (DOD) users access, without additional cost to the USG.

ISSO requires the installation of and maintenance of the Posit software suite (Posit Workbench, Posit Connect and Posit Package Manager) to facilitate data science workloads. The software must integrate with Keycloak for user authentication and be installed on Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPR) and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS).

ISSO requires training for its staff in the R programming language as well as ML and Artificial Intelligence (AI) practices, to encourage automated reporting, rigorous analysis and data-driven decision making. The content should be accompanied by corresponding readings from published books on the subject.

ISSO requires exposing advanced geospatial capabilities, utilizing modern, open source tooling—such as PostGIS, geos, DuckDB Spatial and simple features in R—to end users with no coding ability. This is required to be in the form of a dashboard that allows users to upload Geojson files to be manipulated through a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

ISSO requires assistance automating data manipulation and model training with various classified data sets related to different ongoing projects. The data manipulation would be computed in R and/or SQL and the model training with various methods such as penalized regression, boosted trees, forecasting and other types as needed.
