What Redhorse does

Redhorse Corporation is a privately held federal government contractor founded in 2008 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, providing AI-driven data analytics, cyber, digital transformation, and mission execution services to the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, federal law enforcement, and select civilian agencies. The company's signature product is the IDEA (ISR Data Enrichment and Aggregation) platform — an enterprise Data-as-a-Service capability that aggregates, enriches, matches, and deconflicts data from over 50 ISR sources into a single authoritative global record. IDEA now serves nearly 13,000 users across DoD and the Intelligence Community and has supplanted ROME as DoD's program of record for ISR data, with deployments extending to multiple classification levels including Top Secret JWICS and IL5 on USAF Cloud One.

The broader technology stack includes the proprietary Growlan data processing framework for lawful interception and network forensics, the IDPaaS (Intelligent Data Products as a Service) capability for transforming raw data into AI-ready mission products, CBM+ predictive maintenance solutions built on Databricks and QlikSense, an exclusive U.S. Government reseller relationship for GraphAware Hume's connected-data analytics platform, and a Generative AI partnership with Yurts AI. Redhorse holds a broad portfolio of contract vehicles including the DRAID BOA ($241M, 5-year), FBI ITSSS-2 BPA ($8B ceiling, via subsidiary A2I), MDA SHIELD IDIQ ($151B ceiling), OASIS+, AI Talent 2.0 BOA, GSA MAS, and CDAO Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace Awardable status for IDPaaS and CBM+.

The business model is enterprise field sales to federal program offices, with revenue generated through time-and-materials, cost-plus, and firm-fixed-price task orders under multi-year IDIQ, BPA, and BOA vehicles. The company has executed two strategic acquisitions — Allied Associates International (A2I, October 2023, adding ~500 technical employees and FBI ITSSS-2 access) and The Mannakee Group (March 2025, adding DevSecOps depth) — and is backed by a minority investment from Blue Delta Capital Partners (January 2022). The CEO is Noah Klemm, who assumed the role in January 2025 after serving as Chief Delivery Officer. All revenue is U.S. federal in origin; the company does not serve commercial customers.

Redhorse Corporation delivers AI/ML, data analytics, cyber analytics, digital transformation, and mission execution services to U.S. federal defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies. Its core deliverable is the IDEA (ISR Data Enrichment and Aggregation) platform—an enterprise-grade Data as a Service capability serving nearly 13,000 DoD and Intelligence Community users—complemented by IDPaaS, CBM+ predictive maintenance, and the resold GraphAware Hume connected data analytics platform.

Product overview

Redhorse Corporation delivers a portfolio of technology-driven solutions for national security, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies. Its core offerings center on the IDEA (ISR Data Enrichment and Aggregation) platform — an enterprise-grade Data as a Service (DaaS) capability that aggregates, enriches, and serves ISR data from over 50 sources to nearly 13,000 DoD and IC users. Complementary to IDEA is IDPaaS (Intelligent Data Products as a Service), which transforms raw data into reusable mission-ready intelligence products. Redhorse also resells and deploys GraphAware Hume (exclusive U.S. Government reseller) for connected data analytics, and has partnered with Yurts AI for secure Generative AI solutions. Its CBM+ Solutions provide predictive maintenance for DoD weapon systems. Beyond these platforms, Redhorse offers a broad set of service offerings including Cyber Solutions (lawful interception, digital forensics, vulnerability research), Data Analytics (data engineering, infrastructure, insights, modeling), AI-Driven Innovation (predictive maintenance, document understanding, generative data synthesis), Digital Transformation (DevSecOps, cloud, cybersecurity, 5G modernization), and Mission Execution (acquisition support, program management, geospatial solutions). The company also holds multiple government contract vehicles including the DRAID BOA ($241M, 5-year), MDA SHIELD IDIQ ($151B ceiling), and FBI ITSSS-2 BPA ($8B ceiling). Redhorse has made two strategic acquisitions: Allied Associates International (A2I, October 2023) and The Mannakee Group (March 2025) to expand its cyber analytics and DevSecOps capabilities respectively.
