OPERATIONAL SUPERIORITY

During Missions:
AI based Data Fusion

In the heat of operation, disparate sensor data must become actionable intelligence instantly. Our platform enables multi-modal data fusion at the tactical edge, combining SIGINT, GEOINT, and OSINT streams into a single coherent operational picture. A live digital twin keeps that picture synchronised with real units, assets and terrain, while multi-domain agent orchestration coordinates the ISR, cyber and logistics agents acting on it into one deconflicted plan.

  • Sensor Fusion: Correlate drone feeds with ground sensor data in real-time.
  • Edge Autonomy: AI agents that function fully offline in comms-denied environments.
  • Battlespace Digital Twin: Maintain a live, ontology-grounded model of units, assets and terrain that planning and simulation run against.
  • Multi-Domain Orchestration: Coordinate ISR, cyber and logistics agents into one deconflicted plan of action.

NATO Nations
DATA DRIVEN NATO

NATO

NATO's 2025 Data Strategy and 2024 AI Strategy converge on a unified vision: by 2030, quality data and AI adoption will enhance interoperability and accelerate capability development across the Alliance.

Data & AI Integration:

  • Quality Data as Foundation: AI-ready, trusted data without unintended bias is prerequisite for secure, reliable AI systems
  • AI Adoption: Accelerate AI use cases across NATO Enterprise adhering to Principles of Responsible Use (Lawfulness, Accountability, Explainability, Reliability, Governability, Bias Mitigation)
  • Interoperable Capabilities: Nations manage data domains whilst AI systems operate seamlessly across coalition boundaries

Enabling Infrastructure:

  • NATO Digital Backbone and ADSE enable federated data ecosystems
  • Testing, Evaluation, Validation facilities determine safe AI deployment under operational conditions
  • Workforce development in data literacy and AI talent to support human-machine teaming

Secure Agentic AI

Deploy autonomous agents that operate across coalition boundaries, coordinated through governed multi-agent orchestration, with strict identity management and policy enforcement.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is sovereign defence AI, and why does air-gapped deployment matter?+
Sovereign defence AI keeps your models, data and inference entirely under national or allied control, with no dependency on foreign-operated cloud services. Our platform is European-native and runs anywhere on the spectrum from fully air-gapped, on-premise environments to sovereign cloud. Air-gapped deployment matters because classified intelligence, operational plans and mission data must never traverse public networks or reside where a third-party operator could access them.
Can the platform run fully air-gapped on disconnected or tactical networks?+
Yes. The platform is designed to operate with no internet connectivity, including at the tactical edge on disconnected or intermittently connected networks. Open-weight models are served locally via vLLM so inference happens entirely inside your enclave, and updates can be delivered through controlled, offline transfer. This lets forward units run agentic AI and analytics even when reach-back to central systems is unavailable.
How does the platform support NATO interoperability and allied data sharing?+
We build on open standards and an ontology-based data model so that information can be exchanged across coalition partners without bespoke point-to-point integrations. Federated identity and Data Spaces let allied organisations share specific datasets under granular, policy-driven access controls while each party retains sovereignty over its own data. This supports interoperable workflows between national systems rather than locking you into a single proprietary stack.
How does AI-based data fusion work during missions?+
An ontology unifies heterogeneous sources — sensor feeds, intelligence reports, geospatial layers and logistics data — into a shared semantic model that both analysts and AI agents can reason over. Agentic AI can then correlate signals across those sources in near real time to surface threats, track entities and recommend courses of action. Because data fusion happens against governed, attributed data, outputs remain explainable and traceable back to their origin.
We have run AI pilots and POCs — how do we move to operational, organisation-wide AI?+
Many defence organisations have proven value in isolated pilots but stall when moving to production because of security, governance and integration gaps. Our AI OS provides the organisational foundation — sovereign deployment, federated identity, audit and a shared data ontology — so successful experiments can scale into accredited, operational capability across units. Rather than rebuilding each use case, you industrialise them on common, governed infrastructure that meets defence-grade assurance requirements.
How are AI agents governed, attributed and audited?+
Every AI agent operates under its own federated identity within a zero-trust model, so its permissions, data access and actions are scoped and attributable to a specific entity. All activity — prompts, tool calls, data reads and outputs — is captured in a complete, tamper-evident audit trail as part of our AI governance controls. This means you can demonstrate exactly what an agent did, on whose authority and with which data, which is essential for accountability in defence operations.
Does our data stay protected from the cloud or infrastructure operator?+
Yes. When deployed on shared or sovereign-cloud infrastructure, confidential computing using AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX keeps data encrypted in use, inside hardware-isolated enclaves. This ensures that even a privileged infrastructure or cloud operator cannot read your data or model state while it is being processed. Combined with air-gapped options for the most sensitive workloads, you control the exposure profile to match each classification level.
Which AI models can we use — frontier or open-weight on-premise?+
The platform is model-agnostic. You can connect to frontier models where that is appropriate and permitted, or run open-weight models entirely on-premise via vLLM for classified and disconnected environments. This lets you match each workload to the right model on cost, capability and sovereignty grounds, and avoids lock-in to any single vendor as the model landscape evolves.
Can agentic AI coordinate multiple specialised agents across domains into one plan?+
Yes. A governed orchestration layer sits above individual ISR, cyber, logistics and fires agents, sequencing their hand-offs and resolving conflicting recommendations into a single deconflicted course of action for command review. Rather than staff manually reconciling outputs from separate point solutions, the orchestration layer does that coordination under the same identity and audit controls as any individual agent.
Does the platform support a live digital twin of the battlespace or mission environment?+
Yes. The shared ontology underpins a continuously updated digital twin of units, assets, sensors and terrain, so planning and simulation run against the current operational picture rather than a static snapshot. AI agents and human planners reason over the same live model, which keeps course-of-action analysis grounded in what is actually happening in theatre.
