The military is using ruggedized mobile data centers in extreme environments around the world, and some of the nation\u2019s top defense companies are competing to provide them.<\/p>\n

During the U.S.-Iran war, Iranian strikes on regional data centers highlighted the need for mass digital storage distributed across modern-day battlefields rather than concentrated in one relatively easy-to-target location. Mobile data centers closer to the front lines, rather than relying entirely on more traditional cloud servers, can also help warfighters access information more quickly during combat.<\/p>\n

Those two factors combined have sparked a race inside the defense sector.<\/p>\n

One of the entrants is Menace-I, the result of a partnership between rising defense industry power Anduril and Amazon Web Services (AWS), already a primary provider for the military\u2019s secure cloud.<\/p>\n

Tom Keane, Anduril\u2019s senior vice president of engineering, said that Menace aims to offer an alternative to cloud servers and could also replace some of the data center infrastructure lost to Iranian missile strikes or other attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat infrastructure needed to be reconstituted,\u201d Mr. Keane told The Washington Times. \u201cWe actually learned that it was too hard to do that in the field \u2026 that digital assets couldn\u2019t be replenished in the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Menace-I is a purpose-built computer meant to bring secure, AI-powered decision aids and communications to combat. At the AWS Summit in Washington last week, the company debuted its next step for data use in the military, one that will incorporate cloud connectivity into its deployable data center.<\/p>\n

Both systems have been independently tested in combat environments. AWS says that its Outpost system is already deployed in every area of responsibility for the U.S. military around the world.<\/p>\n

The AWS-Anduril partnership has a competitor in Armada, a San Francisco-based AI hardware company. That company\u2019s Galleon platform is remarkably similar to Menace, with both companies choosing to build their platform into standard-size shipping containers already used by the military.<\/p>\n

Armada has fielded a Galleon deployable data center with the U.S. Navy. It essentially acts as an intelligence server aboard a warship. Armada CEO Dan Wright told The Times that his company\u2019s testing has been successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to show that you can run different applications, \u2019air gapped\u2019 at the edge,\u201d he said in a May interview. \u201cProcess drone data in the middle of the ocean, totally securely at the edge and just send the metadata back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anduril and Amazon say their collaboration \u2014 AWS is one of the key businesses involved in a multibillion-dollar military contract marketplace \u2014 will let troops and unit commands select exactly how much compute power they need and quickly order a suite of hardware and software tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iranians started targeting multiple data centers \u2014 Oracle and AWS between Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi \u2014 obvious, easy, massive targets,\u201d Mr. Keane said. \u201cOur customers are telling us that they want multiple Menaces that are distributed.\u201d<\/p>\n
