Defense Software & AI
Software intelligence for autonomous defense systems.
We build the AI and software layer for autonomous systems, decision intelligence, and physical AI. Pure software. Model-agnostic. Designed for disconnected, contested, and classified environments.
Focus Domains
Where We Build
Four interconnected domains spanning the software stack for defense autonomy.
Autonomous Systems Software
AI software for drones, robots, and unmanned vehicles. Multi-agent coordination. Swarm intelligence. Mission autonomy layers that work with any hardware platform.
Decision Intelligence
AI-powered mission planning, intelligence analysis, and decision support. COA generation. Threat assessment. Logistics optimization. Designed for the OODA loop, not chat interfaces.
Physical AI
Beyond language models: embodied AI, simulation environments, world models, and physics-aware reasoning. Software that understands and predicts the physical world.
AI Assurance
Verification, validation, and red-teaming for AI systems. Guardrails that understand military context. Hallucination detection. Human oversight infrastructure. Compliance evidence generation.
Capabilities
What We Build
Software infrastructure across our focus domains. Research-grounded. Deployable in contested environments.
Multi-Agent Coordination
Software for coordinating autonomous agents — drones, robots, sensors — operating as teams. Decentralized decision-making. Resilient to communication loss. Emergent collaboration without centralized control.
Mission Planning AI
Automated course of action generation. Constraint satisfaction under uncertainty. Integration with C2 systems. Plans that adapt in real-time as conditions change.
World Models & Simulation
Physics-aware AI models for predicting real-world outcomes. Synthetic environment generation. Digital twins for mission rehearsal. Training autonomy without real-world risk.
Intelligence Analysis
LLM-powered analysis of OSINT, imagery, signals. Pattern recognition across massive data. Hypothesis generation. Confidence scoring and source provenance tracking.
Defense-Context Guardrails
AI safety infrastructure that understands military context. ROE-aware output filtering. Classification enforcement. Not commercial safety ported over — purpose-built for defense.
AI Red-Teaming
Automated adversarial testing for LLMs and agent systems. Prompt injection resistance. Jailbreak detection. Continuous assessment infrastructure, not one-time audits.
Approach
How We Build
Technical architecture designed for defense deployment realities.
Local-First Architecture
Full functionality without cloud connectivity. Designed for air-gapped networks and disconnected operation.
Model-Agnostic
Works with any AI models — commercial, open-source, or classified. Software layer that sits alongside, not inside, your AI stack.
Hardware-Agnostic
Pure software. Integrates with any platform — existing drones, robots, vehicles, or sensors. No lock-in to specific hardware.
API-First Integration
Integrates into existing workflows via API. Works with GenAI.mil, Maven, CJADC2, or custom systems. No rip-and-replace.
Research-Grounded
Every capability built on peer-reviewed AI research from Rotalabs. Methods are published, verifiable, reproducible.
Continuous, Not Point-in-Time
Runtime monitoring, not just pre-deployment testing. Catch drift, detect manipulation, verify behavior in operation.
Foundation
Research-Backed
rotadynamics capabilities build on peer-reviewed AI research from Rotalabs. Our methods are published and verifiable — we don't ask you to trust black boxes.
