Oracle Launches First-of-its-Kind Defense Ecosystem to Redefine National Security Innovation

New industry coalition gives defense technology innovators unprecedented access to national security delivery channels 

AUSTIN, Texas, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Defense Tech Summit -- Oracle today announced the Oracle Defense Ecosystem, a first-of-its-kind global initiative to redefine the delivery of defense and government technology innovation. The ecosystem is designed to strengthen U.S. and allied national security and help accelerate the disruptive potential of emerging defense technology by creating new opportunities for defense innovators to leverage the latest cloud and AI technologies. Initial members of the Oracle Defense Ecosystem include Arqit, Blackshark.ai, Entanglement, Fenix Group, now part of Nokia Federal Solutions, Koniku, Kraken, Mattermost, Metron, SensusQ, and Whitespace.

"Nothing is more important than the national security of the U.S. and its allies, and Oracle has been a cornerstone of this mission for nearly 50 years," said Rand Waldron, vice president, Oracle. "Oracle and our defense ecosystem plans to innovate and scale to help the U.S. and its allies deter conflicts and win on physical and digital battlefields."

National security teams are often unable to access the latest cloud and AI technologies, especially from up-and-coming technology vendors, due to complex procurement processes, strict qualification standards, and the relationship networks required to gain admission into the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). To address these challenges and enable the U.S. and its allies to access the most advanced defense technology, the Oracle Defense Ecosystem will build on Oracle's decades of defense and intelligence expertise and leverage Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). OCI is trusted by the defense and government sector and meets its strict compliance requirements.
