We build and deploy software that powers the U.S. Air Force, aggregating command, control, and communications data into a real‑time operational picture Airmen can trust. Rise8 delivers secure, continuously evolving software for mission commanders and operators to gain awareness, accelerate decisions, and achieve air dominance.
We start by linking software development directly to mission objectives—air domain awareness, C2 operations, and decisive advantage. Every capability we build is tied to measurable need, giving Airmen the insights they need to plan faster, act sooner, and close critical C2 gaps.
Our teams of Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers embed with Airmen to iterate fast. Together, they deliver mission-critical software that adapts to real-world demands and shifting workflows.
Skip the wait. We deliver operational features in weeks—not years. Every release is real, tested by Airmen in operational environments, and built to deliver value from Day One.
Rise8 combines Risk Management Framework (RMF) with DevOps to enable Ongoing Authorization for Continuous Delivery (cATO). This ensures software updates stay secure, compliant, and ready to respond, without slowing deployed systems.
When Airmen use real tools in operational environments and see faster planning and sharper decision-making, their mindset shifts. Code becomes an advantage, not just another contract. That’s how culture changes.
We don’t just build software—we build capability. Rise8 equips Airmen with playbooks, pipelines, and user‑centered governance to own, operate, and independently evolve their systems.
Rise8’s AFWERX SDO IDIQ helps Air Force teams deliver faster, safer, and with less red tape.
Why it works:
The Air Force is already using it to:
From mission ops to cyber defense, SDO IDIQ puts capability in prod—fast.
