Watchtower Labs Raises $35M for AI Military Logistics Planning

The product targets military sustainment: moving personnel, delivering ammunition, fuel and spare parts, and managing resupply routes. The platform combines AI, simulation and optimization tools to evaluate hundreds of possible scenarios from a mission's real constraints — since changing one parameter, a cut route or a reduced fuel stock, can ripple through the entire operation. It generates courses of action and surfaces the assumptions behind each recommendation, and takes questions in plain language. The system is designed to inform human decision-making, not to authorize operational action autonomously.

Watchtower Labs has worked with the Naval Postgraduate School since 2025, and in January 2026 was selected by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for its Joint Sustainment Decision Tool program, focused on decision support for operational and joint commands. The new funding will go toward hiring, building additional applications, and continued testing and deployment; the company intends to expand into other operational planning areas, with no timeline given.
