Sovereign Architecture for Contested Environments

Design Authority for mission-critical systems. 15+ years of Naval R&D providing architectural governance, risk mitigation, and certifiable interoperability; not promises, but evidence-backed engineering.

Design Authority Domains

What We Actually Deliver: Auditing, Governance, Risk Mitigation

AUTHORITY

Capability Gap & DOTMLPF-P Analysis

Clinical assessment of operational capability gaps and alignment of technical solutions with defense doctrine. We identify integration risks before they become operational failures, and deliver documented governance artifacts that defend your architecture through certification and operational evolution.

Capability Gap Analysis

→ Specializations

Integrated certification
AUTHORITY

Technical Sovereignty & MOSA Governance

Architectural auditing to eliminate vendor lock-in and restore technical sovereignty. We enforce open standards governance (MOSA/FACE) that enable competitive upgrades and long-term platform independence. The deliverable: A defensible architecture blueprint and governance model that prevents future technical 'capture'.

AUTHORITY

Airworthiness & Certification Assurance

Design Authority oversight for safety-critical systems. We provide the architectural governance required to achieve certification under ARP4754A, DO-178C, and DO-254; we deliver the traceability artifacts that ensure those certifications survive operational evolution and competitive pressure.

Evidence of Design Authority Intervention (NDA-Protected Details)

The cases below demonstrate our Design Authority methodology applied to real-world mission-critical challenges. Details are abbreviated to protect client confidentiality; full technical reports available under NDA.

Scenario: Surgical Compliance Remediation

Context

Tier-2 UAS contractor's data-link implementation failed NATO STANAG 4609 compliance during international coalition trials, blocking platform clearance and jeopardizing multi-year program timeline.

Intervention

Surgical audit of protocol stack implementation, isolation of metadata synchronization failures, and engineered corrective architecture. Deployed design governance framework to prevent future non-compliance and ensure audit defensibility.

Outcome

Full STANAG 4609 certification achieved within 6 weeks. Platform cleared for coalition operations. Decision traceability matrix established. Design pattern documented and transferred to contractor's internal standards.

Compliance Remediation Report

Design Authority Audit

Decision Traceability Matrix

Updated Protocol Specification

Scenario: Technical Sovereignty Recovery

Context

Naval platform was technically 'captured' by proprietary sensor architecture; single-source components, closed-loop control logic, and vendor lock-in constraints that made lifecycle maintenance cost-prohibitive and operationally unsustainable.

Intervention

Application of MOSA principles to design hardware-agnostic abstraction layer. Surgical decoupling of control logic from proprietary hardware interfaces. Architected open interface standards with full governance documentation for competitive sensor integration.

Outcome

Restored technical sovereignty and enabled multi-vendor competitive operations. Cost-competitive sensor upgrades now available. Full decision traceability achieved. Design methodology and governance model transferred to platform sustainment team.

Proprietary Architectural Governance for Deterministic Control

The GAMAN Methodology is our proprietary approach to the architectural governance of heterogeneous defense systems. It is not a software product; it is a rigorous methodological logic grounded in 15+ years of Naval R&D and validated through multiple mission-critical deployments. We deliver three critical artifacts: the architectural blueprint, the decision traceability matrix, and the design authority governance model. These ensure your systems are deterministic, certifiable, interoperable; and defensible through certification audits, competitive pressure, and operational evolution. Every design decision is documented and traceable. If the auditor asks, the answer is already in your record.

Deterministic Command & Control Governance

Rigorous protocol specification, verification, and traceability for bounded latency, anti-jam resilience, and autonomous operation under contested conditions. Deliverable: Protocol specification with formal verification documentation.

Cryptographic Binding of Command Authority

Rigorous architectural auditing to ensure cryptographic binding of command authority, proof-of-provenance for all critical system state transitions, and tamper-detection governance under contested conditions. Deliverable: Security architecture report with formal threat model validation and post-quantum resilience assessment.

Design Authority Governance & Traceability Model

Decision governance and traceability protocols that ensure architectural decisions remain defensible through certification cycles, competitive pressure, and operational evolution. Deliverable: Governance framework documentation and decision traceability matrix.
