Xcelerate Solutions is stepping up its role in the national security space with the acquisition of GDIT’s background investigation assets. The deal, finalized in 2024 but announced publicly this month, brings contracts, systems, and personnel under Xcelerate’s umbrella. The move ensures no disruption to ongoing services for agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the Intelligence Community, both of which rely heavily on reliable vetting processes.
With this acquisition, Xcelerate significantly expands its nationwide pool of investigators and solidifies its position as a major prime contractor for background investigations. Company leaders emphasized that the deal is about more than growth—it’s about ensuring continuity, accuracy, and speed in personnel vetting at a time when demand for security clearances and trusted workforce initiatives continues to rise. This marks a pivotal milestone for Xcelerate, further embedding the company as a key player in protecting U.S. national security interests.
Contract Opportunities: Rune Technologies
Rune Technologies just scored a big win in the defense space, landing new agreements with both the U.S. Marine Corps and the Army to modernize military logistics. The company will work with the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory on AI-enabled decision support software designed to replace outdated manual processes with real-time, predictive insights. The goal: logistics at “machine speed” that improves situational awareness and gives commanders more agility in contested environments.
Alongside the Marines, Rune signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Army to tackle one of its biggest challenges—fragmented logistics data. By helping establish common data standards aligned with the Army’s Unified Data Reference Architecture, Rune aims to unify sustainment systems across the force. Backed by strategic investment from In-Q-Tel, Rune’s predictive logistics platform is also designed to work even in low-bandwidth or denied communications environments—an increasingly critical factor for future military operations.

Cleared Opportunities
Boeing Defense, Space & Security is teaming up with Palantir to bring more artificial intelligence into its production lines and defense programs. Announced at the Air, Space & Cyber Conference, the collaboration will apply Palantir’s Foundry platform to unify data across Boeing’s globally dispersed factories. From fighter jets to satellites, Boeing runs more than a dozen major production lines, and the companies say AI-driven insights will streamline workflows, speed up decision-making, and standardize analytics across locations.
Beyond manufacturing, Palantir’s AI expertise is also being tapped for a number of classified and proprietary defense programs. While details remain under wraps, both companies emphasized the goal of accelerating innovation and giving military customers faster access to advanced capabilities. The move signals a broader trend of defense primes leaning into AI partnerships to strengthen national security and keep pace with rapidly evolving global threats.
