AI for Defense & National Security

Defense and intelligence operations demand the highest levels of performance, security, and reliability. Heron Development Group builds custom AI systems for mission-critical applications—deployed on-premises, air-gapped, and in austere environments.

Example Challenges

• Information overload: Analysts overwhelmed by massive intelligence feeds
• Time-sensitive decisions: Need to process and act on intelligence in minutes, not hours
• Complex operations: Mission planning requires analyzing countless variables
• Security requirements: Must operate in air-gapped, classified environments

Our Solution

AI systems designed for defense applications—intelligence summarization, sensor fusion, mission planning, and autonomous systems. All deployable on-premises or in air-gapped environments. Built with security, reliability, and explainability as core requirements.

We work with defense contractors, government agencies, and military organizations to build AI that enhances human decision-making without replacing human judgment.

Our approach:

• Air-gapped deployment: No external dependencies or cloud connectivity
• Explainable AI: Clear reasoning for all recommendations and decisions
• Human-in-the-loop: AI augments operators, doesn’t replace them
• Robust & reliable: Tested for adversarial conditions and edge cases

Every defense operation is unique. We’d love to hear about your specific mission requirements and challenges.
