STAR.OS AI Integration Framework

STAR.OS is like a mission-control “operating system for AI” that lets the military or aerospace programs safely plug different AI tools into aircraft, satellites, and command centers without rebuilding everything from scratch each time.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Defense and aerospace programs struggle to integrate many different AI models and data feeds into mission systems in a way that is secure, testable, and reusable across platforms. STAR.OS standardizes how AI is integrated, governed, and deployed across missions and assets.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction through reuse of a common AI integration framework across multiple programs and platformsFaster time-to-field for new AI capabilities by avoiding bespoke integrationsOperational speed and decision advantage by fusing and exploiting data with AI in real timeRisk mitigation via standardized validation, safety, and governance controls for AI in high‑consequence environmentsScalability of AI across fleets (air, space, ground, maritime) with a common architecture

Strategic Moat

Tight integration with Lockheed Martin’s mission systems, domain-specific workflows, and access to classified/mission data and programs create a high switching cost and a proprietary integration layer that is difficult for new entrants to replicate.
