Navies, submarine fleets, and naval shipbuilders run on combat-management systems, sonar, periscope optics, and classified comms supplied by dozens of primes and sub-tier vendors. STANAG accreditation, IL5+ classified networks, and cyber-physical safety turn every embedded dependency into an audit obligation. Safeguard delivers live attestation, on the platform, without an egress path.
Allied policy, classified-network rules, and cyber-physical safety are collapsing into one continuous evidence requirement at the hull.
Allied navies and primes must align combat-system software to STANAG 4774, AC/322 directives, and per-nation classified-network policy. Annual paperwork no longer satisfies a NATO accreditation officer who wants live attestation across every embedded component on the hull.
Combat-management traffic, sonar telemetry, and weapons-cueing pipelines run on enclaves at Secret or above. A platform that cannot operate offline, with customer-controlled keys and no upstream telemetry, cannot be deployed inside the SCIF.
A CVE in a sonar signal-processing library is not a ticket — it is a kinetic safety event. Reachability and exploit prioritisation must extend through firmware and FPGA toolchains, not stop at the IT boundary.
Acoustic libraries, machinery-noise baselines, and silencing models are crown-jewel data. A maintainer takeover in a numerical-DSP package, or a tampered ML model, can silently degrade signature management without any operator-visible failure.
Combat-AI inference runs on the hull, on customer hardware, with no internet egress. Weights are SHA-pinned and attested at install, and the entire control plane lives inside the platform's classified enclave.
Every combat-management, sonar, periscope-optics, and comms LRU emits a CycloneDX SBOM with signed provenance pinned to the firmware SHA. STANAG audit becomes a query against the trust packet, not a six-month evidence hunt.
Vulnerability, KEV, and component intelligence flow into the platform via approved one-way conduits. Delta-only updates keep the on-board database current without ever opening an egress path from the classified side.
Disclosure workflows respect classification boundaries by default. Advisories route through cleared channels, with cryptographically separated streams for unclassified, restricted, and Secret-grade content — and SLA timers that survive air-gapped operation.
Pre-mapped control narratives and evidence in the formats your accreditation officer already accepts.
Sovereign Griffin Zero on the platform, air-gapped delta sync via approved conduits, ITAR-aware audit log, and a supplier trust packet ready for prime submission.
Control plane and Griffin Zero inference cluster live inside the hull's classified enclave. No cross-tenant traffic, no shared key material, no upstream telemetry.
Vulnerability feeds, KEV deltas, and component intelligence flow in via one-way data diodes and approved transfer media. Delta-only, signed, replayable.
Every action emits a signed event scoped to its classification compartment. Logs export to the platform's existing accreditation toolchain in JSON and CycloneDX.
Shipbuilders and combat-system primes get a signed bundle of SBOMs, VEX statements, and attestation history — ready for NATO accreditation submission.
Track-fusion and contact-classification models ingest sensor data that an adversary can shape. Without provenance, prompt audit, and capability scoping, an on-platform model can be coaxed into mis-classification with no operator-visible failure.
Acoustic baselines and silencing models are crown-jewel data. A maintainer takeover in a numerical-DSP or ML dependency, or a tampered training set, can silently degrade signature management for the life of the platform.
A transitive dependency from a sanctioned jurisdiction, buried five hops deep in a sonar or comms LRU, becomes an export-control event the moment it ships. Continuous screening, not annual review, is the only viable posture.
Combat-AI assistants that learn from operator interactions can encode classified intent into weights and caches. Sovereign Griffin Zero, deterministic inference, and zero-retention by default close the leakage path.
Numbers from sovereign deployments. Same accreditation, same primes, dramatically less six-month evidence hunt.
