Rebellion’s Iris software will provide Sailors with actionable
insights in real time
Rebellion Defense, a leading U.S. defense software company,
today announced a new contract with the U.S. Navy. Rebellion will
provide its Iris software to Sailors to enhance target recognition
and tracking capabilities.
From drone strikes in the Red Sea to freedom of navigation
operations in the South China Sea, the Navy today must navigate an
increasingly complex global security landscape. This contract,
which was awarded competitively by the U.S. Navy Program Executive
Office Integrated Warfare Systems X (PEO IWS X), underscores the
Navy’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to stay
ahead of maritime adversaries.
Rebellion was selected for this opportunity through Tradewinds,
a marketplace that helps the Department of Defense more quickly
find and procure technology solutions.
“We’re honored that Rebellion Iris software will help keep the
Navy ready for current and future threats,” said Ben FitzGerald,
Chief Executive Officer at Rebellion Defense. “We’re also excited
to have won this opportunity through CDAO’s Tradewinds platform
which continues to facilitate rapid innovation and capability
development for the DoD.”
Rebellion’s Iris software provides real-time detection,
identification, and future-state prediction capabilities. It will
enhance the Navy's ability to swiftly detect, track, and identify
objects of interest at scale, helping operators make better, faster
decisions than manual analysis. Like all Rebellion software, Iris
also complies with the Modular Open Systems Approach, giving
government full data ownership and complying with PEO IWS X’s
mission to deliver modular software capabilities to enhance combat
systems.
This partnership marks Rebellion’s second contract win with the
U.S. Navy this year. In February, the company announced it would
deploy its Mission Engineering team to build custom software for
the U.S. Navy’s Project Overmatch, which aims to improve
data-driven decision making as part of the Pentagon’s Combined
Joint All-Domain Command and Control strategy.
