Bringing the Cloud to the Warfighter: IRONCLAD in Action with Google and the Navy

The Colvin Run team was honored to attend Google Next 2025, and we saw firsthand the immense momentum behind Google’s push into secure, scalable AI/ML for government missions. That energy didn't just inspire us, it validated the vision we’ve been building through IRONCLAD, our multi-cloud MLOps solution developed in partnership with Google Public Sector and Noctua Technology. Designed for NAVWAR and the unique demands of Navy operations, IRONCLAD isn’t just a technology solution. It’s a force multiplier for mission execution in disconnected, high-stakes environments.

We know that delivering value to the Navy means more than deploying cloud infrastructure. It means delivering mission understanding. At Colvin Run, we’re the connective glue between Google’s cutting-edge capabilities and the operational realities faced by Sailors and Marines. For example, through our Translation for Coalition Communications solution, IRONCLAD enhances secure communications by enabling low-bandwidth, AI-assisted language translation at the tactical edge. This not only supports real-time coordination with coalition partners, but ensures that comms remain mission-relevant and secure, even in degraded or disconnected environments. From hardened OCONUS connectivity to real-time AI-driven decision support, IRONCLAD channels the scale and security of Google Cloud into tactical advantage. We embed with NAVWAR teams, shaping tech to mission, not the other way around.

Google Public Sector is building a future where cloud and AI accelerate national security outcomes. At Colvin Run, we’re proud to be shaping that future hand-in-hand, guiding the development of tools that speak to warfighter demands today, while building infrastructure ready for tomorrow. IRONCLAD is just the beginning. From fleet to fiber, we’re bringing mission-driven insights to Google to spark solutions that truly serve our armed forces.
