AI-enabled defence technology procurement

The challenge

Defence procurement is increasingly entangled with proprietary digital ecosystems dominated by private actors. These technologies arrive through as-a-service models that limit national control, reduce auditability and obscure the strategic implications of adoption. The challenge was to assess those environments and the structural vulnerabilities created by dependence on external providers.

How we worked

  • Layered strategic analysis combining field mapping of procurement pathways with infrastructure ownership tracing
  • Forensic evaluation of public-private partnerships to make governance gaps and power asymmetries visible
  • Strategic procurement datasets, infrastructure tracing and network mapping, cross-validated against global media monitoring
  • Conducted with an international academic institution and confidential governmental entities

AI-enabled defence technology procurement

What came out of it

A framework that lets defence stakeholders evaluate procurement, deployment and governance of AI-enabled technologies against national sovereignty, ethical standards and long-term operational integrity.

Framework — Adopted for procurement assessment
