Tectonic Defense: Code Metal Scores $80M OTA for WarMatrix
Code Metal’s $80 million U.S. Air Force Other Transaction agreement to advance WarMatrix — an AI-enabled modeling and simulation platform for wargaming and operational planning — built on the company’s provable-AI technology and validated at the GE 26 Benchmark Wargame.
Big day for the backend side of defense.
This morning, software-for-defense hotshot Code Metal announced that it’s won a $80M OTA to “advance WarMatrix, the AI-enabled modeling and simulation platform Code Metal built in partnership with the U.S. Air Force.”
“We’re really excited,” Code Metal CEO and co-founder Peter Morales told Tectonic. “The work that we’re focusing on [with WarMatrix] is really leveraging the core technology behind Code Metal, which is the ability to rewrite code, but generate proof that when you’ve rewritten that code, it actually maintained its intent, its behavior, and has any sort of new spec requirements that you need the code to have in its target environment.”
