Edge computing and AI solution provider Armada has shown how it can keep military teams connected even in the world’s most remote and communication-challenged locations. The company put its technology to the test during UNITAS 2025, the world’s longest-running multinational maritime exercise.

During the event, Armada’s Deployable Data Center and its Atlas software collected and analysed data across Microsoft Flankspeed Edge servers located both onshore and onboard a U.S. Navy warship. The demonstrations highlighted how Armada can deliver advanced computing power wherever military personnel need it.

“Warfighters often operate in power and communications-denied environments, and Armada’s full stack modular, mobile data centres uniquely enable them to harness massive amounts of data in those conditions,” said Dan Wright, CEO of Armada. “We’re not just building for tomorrow but delivering solutions today, right where they are needed – remote and contested environments both on land and at sea.”

Rear Admiral Carlos Sardiello, commander of the U.S. Navy’s Fourth Fleet, said: “Technologies like modular data centres and edge computing enhance our ability to operate securely and effectively in remote, at-sea environments, highlighting the critical role of industry partnerships in preserving America’s maritime advantage.”
