AI Agent Development for Defence & Aerospace

Give an agent the wrong permissions and it becomes a liability; give it the right ones and it absorbs an entire workflow. We spend the first week on that boundary, then build fast against it.

In defence & aerospace, systems must run fully air-gapped, on open weights, with no external dependency whatsoever. That single fact reshapes how ai agent development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is document intelligence on classified material, usually integrated against simulation platforms. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
