Research abstract
The Secure Autonomous Generative Agents (SAGA) addresses a critical challenge in military autonomous vehicle operations: the trust and communication gap between multiple autonomous systems and their human operators. SAGA delivers smaller, edge deployable, secure, and task-focused generative AI, transforming autonomous vehicle operations.áWhile current command interfaces demand extensive technical training, causing operational delays and increased risks. SAGA transforms this paradigm through new breakthroughs in both AI-secured communication and enhanced real-time and hyper-local interpretation between operators and vehicles.áSAGA uniquely bridges the gap between simplified controls and AI automation by leveraging our breakthrough AI microservices deployable not only on GPUs, but also on CPU only hardware ľ allowing AI inference and security measures to be deployed on autonomous vehicles of all sizes with and without network connectivity.áFor both human-machine and machine-machine communication, SAGA delivers real-time security via micro-agentic AI observing live communication data feeds looking for anomalies or cyber attacks.áSAGA builds on our Lorica platform, which won the Armyĺs xTech prize for scalable AI, and has a clear scaling pathway, starting with Army vehicles and expanding to Air Force and Navy applications. This technology builds on our existing commercial applications, and will accelerate our growth across enterprise and partnerships with defense contractors.á
