AI for Aerospace
& Defense
Aerospace and defense companies operate under the most demanding regulatory environments in any industry. ITAR, DFARS, NIST 800-171, CMMC, AS9100 — every document, every process, every handoff must be traceable and compliant. We build AI systems that make compliance automatic instead of manual, and auditable instead of uncertain.
Compliance Is Eating Your Margins
For Tier 2 and Tier 3 aerospace suppliers, compliance isn't just a checkbox — it's a survival requirement. Losing a CMMC certification or failing an AS9100 audit doesn't just cost money; it costs contracts. And the compliance burden keeps growing.
Your engineers are spending 25-40% of their time on documentation instead of engineering. Technical data packages take weeks to compile. Export control reviews bottleneck every release. Quality records are scattered across systems, making audit preparation a multi-week fire drill.
Meanwhile, your prime contractors are pushing down more compliance requirements to the supply chain. CMMC 2.0, updated DFARS clauses, and evolving cybersecurity mandates add layers of documentation that your current processes weren't designed to handle. Manual compliance doesn't scale — and it's already at the breaking point.

AI That Makes Compliance Automatic,
Not Manual
We build AI systems for regulated environments — designed for air-gapped networks, ITAR-compliant data handling, and full audit traceability from day one.
Compliance Document Generation
AI that auto-generates compliant technical data packages, quality records, and certification documents from your existing data. Every output is traceable to its source data and tagged with the applicable regulatory requirement.
Export Control Automation
Automated ITAR/EAR classification, jurisdiction determination, and export license tracking. The system flags potential violations before documents leave your organization — not after.
Intelligent Document Routing
AI-powered routing that ensures the right documents reach the right reviewers based on classification level, export control requirements, and approval authority. Eliminates bottlenecks and ensures nothing slips through.
Audit Preparation
Continuous compliance monitoring that keeps your documentation audit-ready at all times. When the auditor calls, you respond in hours — not weeks of scrambling.
Quality Management Intelligence
AS9100-aware quality system that tracks nonconformances, corrective actions, and supplier quality data. Predictive analytics identify quality trends before they become audit findings.
Secure Deployment
Our AI systems deploy on air-gapped networks, GovCloud environments, or on-premise infrastructure. Zero data leaves your security boundary. Full NIST 800-171 compliance built in.
Results from Real Aerospace Engagements
Tier 2 Aerospace Structures Manufacturer
180 employees | ITAR-regulated | 4-month engagement
An aerospace structures manufacturer supplying fuselage components to a major OEM was spending 35% of engineering time on compliance documentation. Technical data packages took 4-6 weeks to compile, and their upcoming CMMC Level 2 assessment was 6 months away with significant gaps in their documentation.
We deployed an AI compliance platform that auto-generates technical data packages from engineering data, monitors ITAR classification requirements in real time, and maintains continuous CMMC compliance documentation. The system runs entirely on their air-gapped network — no data ever leaves their security boundary.
Reduction in time spent compiling technical data packages
Technical data package compilation time — from weeks to days
CMMC Level 2 assessment passed on first attempt
Contract value protected by maintaining compliance certification
Defense Electronics & Avionics Integrator
250 employees | DoD programs | 5-month engagement
A defense electronics integrator managing 200+ suppliers across multiple DoD programs needed to verify that every component in their supply chain maintained proper certifications — DFARS compliance, conflict minerals reporting, counterfeit part avoidance, and country-of-origin documentation. Manual verification was consuming 3 full-time equivalents.
We built an AI-powered supply chain compliance system that continuously monitors supplier certifications, flags expiring documents 90 days in advance, automatically verifies new supplier submissions against DFARS requirements, and generates compliant reporting for prime contractor audits.
Reduction in manual supplier compliance verification effort
Compliance gaps found during prime contractor audits post-deployment
Advance warning on expiring supplier certifications
Headcount redirected from compliance paperwork to strategic sourcing
Built for the Most Regulated
Environments in the World
We don't retrofit security onto commercial products. Every system we build for aerospace and defense is designed from the ground up for your regulatory environment.
Air-Gapped Deployment
Our AI runs entirely within your security boundary. No cloud dependencies, no external API calls, no data exfiltration risk. Full functionality on isolated networks.
NIST 800-171 Compliant
Every system meets NIST 800-171 requirements out of the box — access controls, audit logging, encryption at rest and in transit, and incident response capabilities.
ITAR-Aware Processing
Built-in ITAR classification and handling controls. The system knows which data is controlled, who can access it, and logs every interaction for compliance.
CMMC Level 2 Ready
Our deployments are designed to support your CMMC certification — not complicate it. Full documentation of security controls and data handling procedures.
Full Audit Trail
Every AI decision, every document classification, every routing action is logged with timestamp, user context, and reasoning. Auditors get the trail they need.
Cleared Team Available
For programs requiring cleared personnel, our team includes individuals with active security clearances who can work on-site within your SCIF or secure facility.
