OMNI has acquired Nara Logics as part of its efforts to expand its portfolio of software offerings and deliver an artificial intelligence mission platform to the Department of War and federal government customers.
OMNI said Tuesday the acquisition adds Nara Logics’ Synaptic Intelligence Platform to OMNI’s portfolio, which includes Astoria, a metadata management platform that catalogs, standardizes and prepares complex customer data assets, and ACDC, a data access platform that delivers data across disparate mission
What Is Nara Logics’ Synaptic Intelligence Platform?
The Synaptic Intelligence Platform from Nara Logics is an explainable AI engine designed to translate mission data into actionable insights for analysts, commanders and operators.
Unlike traditional black-box AI systems, the platform uses neuroscience-inspired architecture to provide auditable reasoning for every recommendation, keeping the user in control of the decision-making process.
Nathan Wilson, cofounder of Nara Logics, designed the platform using principles from biological neural structures to provide compute-efficient AI with auditable reasoning for each output.
What Did OMNI & Nara Logics CEOs Say About the Transaction?
OMNI CEO Parag Thakker said the acquisition enables customers to adopt AI that works “at the speed of relevance,” combining Nara Logics’ explainable AI with OMNI’s zero-trust data offerings to deliver a decisive advantage across classified and compartmentalized networks.
Jana Eggers, CEO of Nara Logics, said the transaction will accelerate the adoption of deployable AI capabilities in complex environments, pairing the company’s AI platform with OMNI’s technology stack to get mission-critical tools into the hands of users quickly.
How Does the Acquisition Align With OMNI’s Recent Growth Strategy?
The Nara Logics acquisition expands OMNI’s capabilities as the company continues to invest in technology, leadership and mission support offerings.
In February, OMNI completed a Capability Maturity Model Integration Level 3 benchmark appraisal across six operational domains.
The company also appointed Tim Coffin, a retired U.S. Army brigadier general, as vice president of strategic growth for space and secured a potential $427 million Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency contract to provide cloud and DevSecOps support for the National Background Investigation Services modernization effort.
