UK AI defense company Adarga is teaming up with Oracle Cloud.
The two companies have partnered to offer Adarga's defense and security software Vantage via Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Oracle's distributed cloud.
“Providing our customers with the ability to deploy to OCI further strengthens Adarga’s cloud-anywhere approach,” said Seb Matthews, vice president of mission engineering, Adarga. “This approach is fundamental in today’s increasingly complex operating environment, where defense organizations require technology solutions that offer flexibility, reliability, and security, without the need to be locked into a single provider.”
Vantage will initially be deployed in the Oracle Cloud for UK Government and Defence, Oracle's cloud region specifically for UK public sector and defense customers. Eventually, Vantage will be added to Oracle's distributed cloud which includes dedicated, public, sovereign, and hybrid cloud environments.
“Armed forces, government, and defense organizations need to continually access, analyze, and act on intelligence faster than ever as warfare is increasingly fought on a digital battlefield,” said Bram Couwberghs, vice president of defense, Oracle EMEA. “Adarga Vantage on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure brings together a powerful AI-driven solution on an industry-leading cloud and AI infrastructure to help military organizations win.”
Oracle secured a similar deal with Defense tech company Anduril in September 2024. That agreement saw the Lattice software platform deployed on Oracle Cloud Isolated and National Security Regions - air-gapped cloud infrastructure - as well as Oracle Cloud Regions, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, and Oracle Government Clouds in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In October of last year, Oracle won four contracts with the UK government as part of the Synergy Programme. The agreements will see the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), and the Home Office use Oracle Cloud for their shared services platform as part of a ten-year, $1bn contract. All will run in the Oracle Cloud for UK Government & Defence region.
