AI in Defence & Security
Case Study: Ensuring safety, robustness, and full operational compliance for high-consequence AI systems in governmental applications.
The Institute provides essential assurance for national security AI deployed in C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems, focusing on mission-critical reliability and strategic trust.
Focus on Mission-Critical Risk (ISO/IEC 42001 Annex C)
Safety & System Integrity (C.2.9)
Mitigating immediate threats to human life and health; ensuring the system does not lead to an uncommanded or dangerous state in high-consequence operational scenarios.
Robustness & Complexity (C.2.8, C.3.1)
Rigorous testing of AI performance in complex, dynamic environments to guarantee reliability when data patterns shift (data drift) or during hardware transfer.
Supply Chain & Expertise (C.2.2, C.3.6)
Addressing risks from the entire system life cycle (C.3.6) and ensuring the requisite AI expertise (C.2.2) is present for development, deployment, and human oversight.
The Holistic Assurance Layer: Integrated Compliance
Our approach transcends single-standard compliance, unifying AI Governance (ISO 42001) with mandatory military and governmental requirements across three critical dimensions.
Mission Safety & Airworthiness
Integration of MIL-STD-882E requirements for system safety, ensuring AI components meet predictable, controlled outputs necessary for high-consequence, sensitive operational zones.
Cyber Resilience & InfoSec
Verification against ISO/IEC 27001 for data integrity and implementation of protocols for NIS 2 readiness, securing intelligence data and preventing adversarial attacks.
Ethical Oversight & Human Control
Establishing legally sound accountability frameworks and clear human intervention points (Human-in-the-Loop) to ensure autonomous decision-making aligns with ethical policy.
Validated Mission Outcomes
Mission Reliability Verified
Achieved full compliance certification for deployment in highly sensitive and mission-critical environments.
Strategic Trust Secured
Established auditable framework providing high confidence to military and government leadership.
Robustness Under Stress
Successfully stress-tested against worst-case scenarios and adversarial techniques.
