For defense and coalition partners

Coalition-ready collaboration. Controlled by you.

Allies and partner agencies rarely run the same system. Work with them anyway: messaging, voice, video and governed AI, all under your rules.

Why now

Three mandates come due at once.

Share with mission partners, interoperate across the coalition and reach Zero Trust. One platform answers all three.

CJADC2Line of Effort 5

Line of Effort 5 makes sharing information with mission partners a first-class US defense requirement.

How we answer

One governed platform for every echelon, already running on NIPR, SIPR and JWICS.

FMNSpiral 6

NATO Federated Mission Networking sets how 43 nations interoperate, with XMPP at the core of coalition chat.

How we answer

Native XMPP and Matrix federation. Allies keep their systems, and no one is forced to switch.

Zero TrustTarget level by FY2027

Every DoW system your programs deliver must reach Zero Trust Target Level by the end of FY2027.

How we answer

Access checked by attribute, request by request, with every decision logged. Aligned to NIST SP 800-207 and SP 800-162.

See it working

One channel. Every ally on their own system.

When the approved tool can't reach a partner, people find one that can. Here, every partner reaches you from the system they already run.

01 · Zero Trust

Partners in. On your terms.

You decide who joins, what they see and when access ends. Your workspace enforces it and logs every decision.

  • Access follows clearance and releasabilityAttribute-based access control (ABAC), enforced by your workspace. Members are re-checked within minutes.
  • One off switchIdentity from your directory. Deactivate an account and sessions and devices are cut off at once.
  • Guests see only what you shareGuest access, limited to the channels you choose.
  • A record that holds upMessage auditing with a full audit trail.

02 · Native federation

Their systems. Real identities.

Native Matrix and XMPP federation, server to server. Partners join as themselves, and nothing sits in the middle to accredit.

01

No one is forced to switch

Rocket.Chat is both a Matrix homeserver and an XMPP server. Allies and partner nations federate from the systems they already run.

02

Proof of who said what

Every message arrives tied to its verified sender, never a relay bot, so your record holds up in any review.

03

Partners on MS Teams too

A low-side bridge keeps MS Teams users in the conversation. Sensitive channels stay native.

03 · Tactical edge

From headquarters. To the tactical edge.

Built for DDIL environments. Forward teams message from ATAK, and command reads it in the same governed channel.

  • Built for DDIL environmentsForward teams share the same governed channel as headquarters, over fiber, SATCOM or tactical networks.
  • Chat inside ATAKRocket.Chat works with TAK Server and ATAK, so operators message from the device they already carry.
  • Position reports in the channelPositions shared from ATAK land in the same channel, where command is already working.

04 · Governed AI

Every language. One picture.

Governed AI translates, summarizes and searches on the model you host, scoped to each person's access.

  • Every ally, in your languageMessages from federated partners arrive already translated.
  • Catch up in secondsSummaries of long coalition threads, with your own records as sources.
  • Nothing leaves your perimeterPrompts and answers stay on your model. Public AI services are never in the path.

Questions

What teams ask before a demo.

Book a demo ↑
We already have MS Teams. Does this replace it?

No. Keep MS Teams for everyday work. Rocket.Chat covers the places MS Teams can't go, such as air-gapped, classified and DDIL environments, and reaches MS Teams users through a low-side bridge.

Our partners run a different platform. Do they have to switch?

No. Rocket.Chat is both a Matrix homeserver and an XMPP server, so partners on either protocol connect to you directly, as themselves. Nobody deploys a bridge or accredits a second server. Partners on MS Teams join through a low-side bridge.

How does this help with the FY2027 Zero Trust target?

Attribute-based access is what the mandate asks for. Every member is re-checked against your identity provider, and every decision is logged on your server with the user, attributes and time, which is what an assessor needs to see. Users without the right attributes can't be added or stay in a channel. Aligned to NIST SP 800-207 and SP 800-162.

Can we host it ourselves, and inspect it?

Yes. Run it on-premises, in a secure cloud or air-gapped, from headquarters to the tactical edge. The code is open source, so your security team can review it or bring in a third party.

What does it cost?

It depends on where you run it, how many people use it and the plan you need, such as Government or Defense. We scope it with you on the first call.
