The Hidden Dangers of Legacy Code in Defence
In 2020, DARPA highlighted a problem that has since become impossible to ignore. Modern defence systems are built on vast layers of legacy code, much of it poorly understood, sparsely documented, and difficult to secure.
At the time, the concern was largely structural. Today, it is accelerating.
The Future of Human Machine Teaming (HMT)
Ukraine is rewriting the rules of warfare, but not in the way most expected. What’s emerging on the battlefield is not just faster drones or smarter systems, but a new kind of partnership between humans and machines that is already changing how decisions are made and missions are executed. But the real shift lies in what humans stop doing, and what machines start taking on.
What is Data Sovereignty and why is it important for defence
Most organisations assume their data is secure if it sits within national borders, but that assumption is increasingly flawed. In this article, we unpack how laws like the US CLOUD Act can reach across jurisdictions, why “data residency” is not the same as true sovereignty, and how a new layer, capability sovereignty, is emerging as AI systems begin to shape decisions as much as the data itself.
The Smart Battlespace
Cities have always been the most demanding battlespace. Dense, crowded, and constantly shifting, urban terrain compresses time, space, and decision-making in ways few environments can. Yet the tools used to understand it have barely evolved beyond maps, imagery, and reports. A new, largely unseen layer is now taking shape, that merges digital intelligence with the physical city itself: Augmented reality (AR).
