Optimus is designed for air-gapped operation from the first boot: complete auditability, complete traceability, and updates delivered by signed physical media — a system your accreditation process can fully review.
Denied, degraded, and disconnected environments are where defense AI must work. A self-contained appliance with local models needs no reachback to be fully capable.
02
Export-controlled data requires controlled systems
ITAR technical data and export-controlled designs stop at the border of any system you don't control. Keeping inference on owned hardware keeps the control regime intact.
03
One appliance, one supply chain to review
CMMC and DIB security reviews get simpler when the AI stack is a single accountable appliance — not a mesh of SaaS subprocessors with their own clearance questions.
The pain point — compliance
Zero external connectivity, by design.
For classified and CUI environments, the first question isn't accuracy — it's whether the system can exist inside the boundary at all. Optimus ships with zero external dependencies, a fully dark-site mode, and an update path that fits two-person integrity procedures.
The regimes in play
ITAR / EAR
Export-controlled technical data restricted to authorized persons on controlled systems.
CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171
CUI handling requirements across the defense industrial base — flowed down to every subcontractor.
Classified Enclave Policy
Air-gapped networks where any external call is a violation, not a configuration choice.
Supply-Chain Security
Provenance and integrity requirements for every component that enters the SCIF.
What cloud AI puts at stake
Technical data crossing into uncontrolled commercial infrastructure
Telemetry you can't fully disable — or fully verify
Model updates arriving over channels your accreditation never reviewed
Subprocessor chains you cannot fully vet or monitor
Optimus removes this exposure entirely: no external calls, no subprocessors, no egress — the full AI stack runs inside the controls you already operate.
Use cases
What one machine solves in defense.
Every workload below runs on the appliance, against your documents and systems, with full logs — no internet connection required.
Document exploitation at the edge
Summarize, translate, and cross-reference captured or collected documents entirely offline, at the speed of the mission.
Multilingual summarization without external services
Entity and relationship extraction on-box
Full provenance chain for every output
DOMEXTranslation
Maintenance and logistics copilots
Put decades of technical manuals and maintenance history behind a natural-language interface that runs at the depot or on the flight line.
TM/IETM retrieval with figure references
Fault-history pattern search
Works with zero connectivity
MaintenanceLogistics
Proposal and compliance drafting
For the DIB: draft CDRLs, compliance matrices, and DFARS-clause responses over your own past performance library.
Compliance matrix generation from RFPs
Past-performance retrieval and reuse
CUI never leaves the accredited boundary
CDRLDFARS
Cyber threat triage in the enclave
Summarize alerts, correlate logs, and draft incident reports inside the same classification level the data lives at.
Alert-to-narrative summarization
Cross-log correlation on local compute
Reports in your incident format
CyberIncident Response
Mission knowledge retrieval
Search doctrine, orders, and after-action archives with clearance-aware access controls enforced locally.
Compartment-aware retrieval
AAR pattern search across operations
Audit trail for every query
Knowledge SearchAARs
Training content generation
Generate scenario injects, evaluations, and study materials from your own doctrine library — on hardware that never touches the internet.
Scenario drafts from doctrine and AARs
Evaluation rubrics in unit format
Content stays at classification
