AI and cyber capability, built where it has to work.
Beyond tactical procurement, A.I.R. delivers two integrated technology lines of effort: AI systems and frameworks built and operated in-house, and cybersecurity engineering and advisory across the full mission stack. Both run under the same disciplined contract execution that defines the rest of the portfolio.
AI Systems & Frameworks
A.I.R. designs, builds, and operates AI systems for government end-users where data sovereignty, model assurance, and continuity of operations are non-negotiable. Work spans secure on-prem and air-gapped inference, retrieval and knowledge systems, computer-vision analytics, and full MLOps for the model lifecycle. Consulting engagements cover AI strategy, requirements support, model assurance, and red-team evaluation for agencies standing up or scaling AI capability.
Engineered, deployed, and operated by A.I.R.
Secure On-Prem & Air-Gapped Inference
LLM, vision, and decision-support model deployments engineered for sovereign data environments, disconnected networks, and tactical edge platforms.
Retrieval & Knowledge Systems
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and structured knowledge graphs built over mission data with provenance, citation, and access controls.
Computer Vision & ISR Analytics
Detection, classification, tracking, and change-detection pipelines for imagery, FMV, and sensor feeds — engineered for real-time and forensic workflows.
Predictive Maintenance & Decision Support
Time-series and operational analytics for fleet, sustainment, and force-readiness use cases. Models built against agency data with auditable outputs.
MLOps & Model Lifecycle
End-to-end pipelines — training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, drift detection, and retirement — with full data and model lineage.
Edge & Disconnected AI
Quantized models, on-device inference, and synchronization frameworks for platforms operating in degraded, denied, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments.
Embedded expertise for agency teams.
AI Strategy & Roadmaps
Capability assessments, mission-aligned roadmaps, and prioritized investment plans for agencies building or scaling AI programs.
Requirements & Acquisition Support
Translating mission needs into technical requirements, market research, and acquisition packages aligned to federal AI policy and oversight.
Model Assurance & Red-Teaming
Adversarial evaluation, bias and robustness testing, prompt-injection assessment, and assurance documentation for AI systems entering production.
Responsible AI & Governance
AI governance frameworks, model cards, system cards, and oversight processes aligned with OMB, NIST AI RMF, and DoD responsible-AI guidance.
Workforce Enablement
Hands-on training and embedded engineering support to transfer operational knowledge to agency teams.
Cybersecurity
A.I.R. operates and advises across the full cybersecurity mission. In-house teams stand up and run managed detection and response, zero-trust architectures, identity programs, and incident-response capability. Consulting engagements cover compliance and authorization — CMMC, FedRAMP, RMF, ATO — vulnerability and penetration testing, OT/ICS security, and supply-chain assurance for software and hardware acquisitions.
Engineered, deployed, and operated by A.I.R.
24/7 SOC & Managed Detection and Response
Continuous monitoring, detection engineering, threat hunting, and managed response across endpoint, network, identity, and cloud telemetry.
Zero-Trust Architecture
Design and migration of zero-trust architectures across identity, devices, networks, applications, data, and analytics — aligned to DoD and CISA reference models.
Identity & Access Management (ICAM)
Federated identity, privileged access, PIV/CAC integration, conditional access, and least-privilege enforcement across hybrid and multi-cloud estates.
Incident Response & Digital Forensics
On-call IR engagements, containment, eradication, forensics, and recovery — with after-action reporting and control-gap remediation plans.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning, prioritization, remediation tracking, and exception management — engineered around exploitability and mission impact, not just CVSS.
Secure Software Supply Chain
SBOM generation and ingest, signed artifacts (sigstore / SLSA), build provenance, and pipeline hardening to meet EO 14028 and NIST SSDF expectations.
OT / ICS / SCADA Security
Asset discovery, segmentation, monitoring, and incident response for operational-technology environments where availability is the first-order constraint.
Embedded expertise for agency teams.
CMMC, FedRAMP, RMF & ATO Support
Readiness assessments, control implementation, evidence collection, SSP/POAM development, and assessor liaison through award and continuous monitoring.
Penetration Testing & Red Team
Network, application, cloud, and adversarial-emulation engagements aligned to MITRE ATT&CK — with reproducible findings and remediation pathways.
Cyber Risk & Architecture Review
Independent architecture reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments to surface gaps before acquisition or production deployment.
Insider Threat & Counter-Intelligence Support
Program design, behavioral analytics, and tooling for insider-threat detection aligned to NITTF minimum standards.
Tabletop Exercises & Workforce Training
Executive and operator-level tabletop exercises, IR drills, and role-based cybersecurity training tailored to the agency's mission.
The operating principles behind every technology engagement.
AI and cybersecurity work fail in the same places: mission misalignment, paperwork-driven assurance, and delivery teams that disappear at cut-over. A.I.R. is built around the opposite defaults.
Mission-First, Not Tool-First
Every engagement starts from the mission and the authority to operate — tooling and frameworks are selected to fit, not the other way around.
Sovereign by Default
U.S.-cleared personnel, U.S.-hosted infrastructure, and air-gap-capable deployments. Data stays where the mission requires it.
Assurance is Engineering, Not Paperwork
Compliance evidence and assurance artifacts are generated from the same pipelines that build the systems — not bolted on at audit time.
Continuity Over Heroics
Runbooks, telemetry, and trained agency teams. We engineer for the day after delivery, not just cut-over.
Same procurement paths as the rest of the portfolio.
Technology engagements move under the same three paths as A.I.R.'s tactical equipment work — direct PO, piggyback under existing vehicles, or competitive bid. Vehicle eligibility and scope coverage are confirmed agency-by-agency.
Direct PO
Issue a purchase order directly to A.I.R. for off-contract engineering, advisory, or managed-service work.
Piggyback Procurement
Buy under an existing statewide or cooperative vehicle where your jurisdiction permits piggyback awards. Inquire for vehicle availability.
Competitive Bid
Issue an RFP, RFQ, or task order under an existing IDIQ. A.I.R. handles full proposal compliance, technical response, and pricing.
Send leadership your AI or cyber requirement.
Capability briefs, past performance, and statements of work are released directly to authorized evaluators on request.
