Module 01
Bridge
Commercial middleware: data model mapping, messaging abstraction, interface contracts and an SDK.
Neutral integration and verification for allied vehicles
Spin-off of Artis / NATO first
The problem
Every vehicle program rebuilds the same integration
01
Repeated work
Manufacturers integrate computing, communications, power interfaces and proprietary subsystem software again for each vehicle model and customer.
02
Failures at the seams
In prototype testing for the US Army's XM30, software issues showed up mainly in communication between subsystems.

03
Costly upgrades
Without a common data contract, changing hardware or adding a new supplier's sensor means reworking the integration and re-running the tests.
One layer for every sensor.
Sensors
One neutral layer between sensors, vehicles and AI.
A portable, independently testable commercial middleware and validation toolchain that runs across suppliers.
Start with the vehicles already in service.
Allied vehicles
What we build
Five modules, sold separately or together
Module 02
Verify
Conformance-oriented testing, simulation, regression tests and evidence collection. An engineering tool, not a certification authority.
Module 03
Node
Optional rugged reference gateway built from commercially sourced hardware.
Module 04
Adapters
Documented adapters for approved suppliers and vehicle standards. No proprietary program data.
Module 05
Manage
Provisioning, version control, audit logs and offline updates. Later release.
Standards
Designed to align with open standards
- MOSA
- FACE
- NATO NGVA / STANAG 4754
- UK GVA
- VICTORY
- CMOSS / SOSA
Alignment is a design goal, not a certification claim.
AI and trust
AI sits above the backbone and stays advisory
- 01Data acquisition
- 02Data contracts
- 03AI data services
- 04Model services
- 05Governance
- 06Applications
Hard boundaries
- No autonomous weapon engagement or target selection.
- No AI control of safety-critical vehicle actuation.
- No unrestricted cross-domain data movement.
- Every recommendation is advisory, logged and subject to human approval.
Land first. Then air and sea.
