Knob Noster, MO – Our mission states: Rapidly integrate and transition the best commercial solutions to strengthen the DoD. What sets us apart from others is our commitment to not only solve problems for our DoD partners, but also, work to transition those solutions into long-term wins for them, improving readiness and overall national security. 

RISE™ Robotics is a portfolio company that Small Business Consulting Corporation (SBCC) discovered back in May 2021 through our Commercial Technologies Showcase for Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). The focus of RISE’s technology is to replace and outperform hydraulic systems in speed, force, efficiency, and durability. Their impressive innovation caught the eye of AFGSC with the goal to develop a better system for loading munitions onto aircraft.

SBCC assisted in securing RISE™ additional government funding in August 2023. This helped lead the way to a successful demonstration of the SuperJammer™ at Whiteman Air Force Base. “#TeamWhiteman members hosted a demonstration for the new fully operational boom arm prototype to help improve processes on the flightline. The new arm will help modernize the munition lift truck fleets and allow for our Airmen to work faster and better, so they are mission ready!” – via Whiteman AFB Instagram post.

Strategic Advisor Dr. Cody Marcus, SBCC, stated that “RISE™ Robotics' groundbreaking approach delivers AFGSC a vastly safer, more efficient, and state-of-the-art solution for munitions loading, revolutionizing operational standards and enhancing overall mission readiness.” 

SBCC is excited to be a part of successes like this to enhance the military readiness and maintain operational excellence for our warfighters.
