Oracle Expands Defense Ecosystem With Second AI Innovation Cohort

Oracle Corporation announced the second cohort of its Oracle Defense Ecosystem, a global initiative launched in June 2025 to accelerate the adoption of AI and cloud solutions for national security. The expanded program adds ten companies, including Airis Labs, American Binary, Defense Unicorns, Druid Software, Duality Technologies, Galvanick, Heven AeroTech, Reka, Scaleout, and Strider Technologies.

These participants specialize in autonomous systems, secure communications, cyber resilience, and AI-powered situational awareness. The companies, which include firms from Australia, New Zealand, and other allied nations, receive preferred pricing and exclusive Oracle resources to develop tools for the United States Department of Defense and other government agencies.

The initiative aims to streamline the transition of digital tools from the pilot stage to operational field use. This second group follows an inaugural cohort that featured companies such as Arqit and Mattermost, focusing on maintaining a strategic advantage in a dynamic global security environment.
