Gallatin AI emerged from stealth Tuesday, unveiling $15 million in funding and software its chief executive, Woody Glier, said will streamline frontline logistics.

Why it matters: Getting bombs, bullets and bandages to the right place at the right time is infamously difficult and labor-intensive.

It's also of the highest stakes: Supplies keep troops alive.

Follow the money: Gallatin was incubated through 8VC, which helped launch drone-boat maker Saronic (valued at $4 billion as of February) and directed-energy specialist Epirus, which announced a $250 million raise in March.

Other backers include Silent Ventures, Moonshots Capital, Timeless Partners and Banter Capital.
Gallatin's founding team includes Amazon, Scale AI and Pentagon alumni.

Zoom in: Navigator, the company's digital planner, was built using Palantir Technologies' Foundry.

It aims to be predictive, not reactionary, offering users AI-generated advice, simulation tools and insights on how quickly stocks are chewed through.

What's next: Gallatin will collaborate with Booz Allen Hamilton — among the world's largest defense contractors — on contested logistics, a major focus of the U.S. Army.
