Nights Watch AI Defense & Assurance
Nights Watch is a modular AI defense and assurance framework designed to secure the visual domain and protect mission-critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) imagery pipelines. While computer vision models are central to modern defense operations, they remain highly vulnerable to adversarial AI deception, such as model evasion and data poisoning. Because these technical manipulation techniques bypass traditional network-layer cybersecurity entirely, they threaten autonomous targeting precision and expose the digital kill chain to catastrophic tactical failure.
Acting as an operational AI trust layer, Nights Watch integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without adding operational friction. The solution provides comprehensive end-to-end security by subjecting AI models to adversarial stress conditions to quantify risks before deployment, persistently scanning live data streams to detect exploits in real time, and delivering automated recovery actions to restore compromised models instantly.
Field-tested at TRL 5 and maturing to TRL 6 under an Army SBIR Phase II, Nights Watch delivers 97% adversarial detection accuracy and 99% model performance recovery. Built on Red Hat OpenShift, it transitions from cloud environments to resource-constrained tactical edge hardware with zero code changes, ensuring warfighters can confidently trust AI-driven decisions in contested battlespaces.
