The CRM giant is folding a battlefield logistics AI company into Missionforce, its growing national security unit Salesforce built its empire helping sales teams track leads. Now it wants to help the US military track ammunition, fuel, and food. The company has agreed to acquire Rune Technologies, a Washington, D.C.-based startup that makes AI software for military logistics, for $375 million in cash and stock. Salesforce announced the deal on October 29, 2026. The purchase is the clearest signal yet that Salesforce sees defense as a serious growth line, not a side project.
