Rune makes AI-powered software that helps troops forecast supply needs, plan the use of resources and decide where to send them, including in places with little or no network connection.
The US Army and US Marine Corps already use Rune’s technology, Salesforce said
The financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed
Salesforce said a year after the launch of Missionforce, its defense business was growing 80% year-over-year, with customers in all six branches of the US military
Salesforce has been broadening its AI offerings through acquisitions as investors worry that fast AI adoption could erode demand for traditional software
It agreed to buy AI marketing software maker Braze for about $5.66 billion last week, signed a $3.6 billion deal for AI agent platform Fin earlier this year and an $8 billion deal for Informatica last year
The Rune deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of Salesforce’s fiscal year 2027
