Raft’s technology utilizes Apache Kafka and MQTT proxy bridge to enable highly reliable data streams from edge systems in low bandwidth areas with little to no connectivity. The data streams can be replicated onto multiple devices so that actions can be taken onto event streams. The data from edge weapon systems is polled to a MQTT proxy whenever there is connectivity. The proxy publishes the data to a highly available Kafka cluster with several topics. Multiple DevSecOps automated actions can subscribe to the data in the Kafka cluster and push updates out to the edge systems using Hardware In the Loop (HIL)

Raft’s Software Platform is a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology that creates digital twins that emulate weapon systems to be part of the Kubernetes DevSecOps pipeline. By containerizing digital twins, new capabilities will be built, tested, and deploy..
