Sovereign technology, defence integration, and funding — the UK Defence AI ecosystem that makes DEFONEOS possible
The open-source projects DEFONEOS integrates as its core engine. All MIT/Apache licensed. All sovereign-compatible.
The open-source TAK server. DEFONEOS wraps it with JSP 936 compliance, UK sovereignty, and MCP bridge for AI-augmented C2.
InstaDeep's JAX-based multi-agent RL framework. DEFONEOS uses Mava for swarm coordination, role allocation, and emergent tactic generation.
The industry-standard open-source drone autopilot. DEFONEOS bridges PX4 swarms into TAK via MCP for integrated C2.
The 3D geospatial engine. DEFONEOS renders Digital Twins, ISR feeds, and TAK overlays on Cesium for the MOD Common Operating Picture.
The open-source cyber threat intelligence platform. DEFONEOS integrates OpenCTI with MCP for real-time threat feeds into the COP.
Automated adversary emulation. DEFONEOS runs Caldera for continuous JSP 936-required security testing against the defence AI stack.
Commercial and open-source projects that DEFONEOS plans to integrate with for enhanced capability.
European Space Agency's Copernicus satellite data. DEFONEOS ingests Sentinel-1/2 imagery via MCP for zero-cost ISR.
Britain's national mapping agency. DEFONEOS layers OS OpenData terrain onto Cesium for UK-specific Digital Twin resolution.
UK national weather service. DEFONEOS ingests live Met Office data via MCP for ISR mission planning, drone flight windows, and MEDEVAC routing.
The UK's open data portal. DEFONEOS connects to 47,000+ datasets via MCP for police, fire, health, transport, and environment feeds.
UK and NATO defence innovation funds and programmes that DEFONEOS targets for non-dilutive funding.
The MOD's primary innovation vehicle. DEFONEOS targets UKDI for rapid prototyping contracts and the Defence AI Investment Fund.
NATO's Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic. DEFONEOS applies for the dual-use AI challenge with £100K-400K EUR grants.
UK MOD's accelerator for defence innovation. Open calls from £150K to £3M. DEFONEOS targets DASA for the counter-drone and ISR pipeline calls.
UKRI's innovation agency. Mission 3 of the Frontier AI programme specifically targets defence AI applications.
The world's first multi-sovereign VC fund. Invests in dual-use deep tech startups across the NATO alliance.
MOD's AI-specific procurement vehicle. DEFONEOS aligns with ASGARD for the C2, ISR, and Cyber defence AI use cases.
The sovereign technology stack that makes DEFONEOS genuinely UK-controlled — not just UK-hosted.
The sovereign shell. Every DEFONEOS contract, MCP package, and SIGIL is issued by CSOAI LTD — a UK limited company with sole director Nicholas Templeman.
The physical world interface. Asimov V8 robotic arm, HARVI patrol robot, WOLF platform, Flock cameras, Hamsa hand, Qidi fabrication. DEFONEOS bridges digital C2 to physical assets.
The sovereign reasoning engine. 207+ tools across 14 Ollama models. Runs entirely on UK hardware. No US cloud dependency for core AI.
60+ distributed council members providing Byzantine Fault Tolerant governance. Every DEFONEOS decision is council-attested and Watchdog-certified.
