C2/ISR-Native Deployed AI for ambiguous skies

Operational Deep Learning for Intent Determination & Multi-INT Fusion

TailSalt is a quiet integrator of deployable neural inference fabrics that cohabit with avionics, ADS-B/Mode-S, SIGINT, and tactical data links. We transform noisy aerostatics into explainable risk postures using online learning, anomaly grammars, and cross-domain correlation at the edge.

Mission profile

We operationalize inference where links are fragile and time is asymmetric.

Our modality-agnostic pipelines perform real-time behavioral adjudication over aircraft telemetry. Using streaming vectorization, causal DAGs, and zero-copy IPC, we compute a nefariousness posterior without exfiltrating raw feeds. The result: low-latency COA recommendations that survive contested spectrum.

Jargon-dense articulation

TailSalt’s meshable micro-orchestrations compile spatio-temporal motifs into intent priors using differentiable finite-state transducers, Bayesian changepoints, and transformer-mediated sensor alignment. Our artifact registry emits SBOM-verifiable models with air-gapped reproducibility guarantees and cryptographic provenance (ed25519/UUIDv7 stamped).

Explainability

Counterfactual trajectories and SHAP-guided rule synthesis yield analyst-digestible why-now narratives for COA selection.

What does “nefariousness posterior” mean?

A calibrated probability, updated over time, that a track’s observed behavior deviates meaningfully from its normative envelope given airspace constraints and multi-source context.

Assurance

Privacy-preserving by architecture.

We emphasize min-data designs: on-sensor transforms, rolling windows, and ephemeral feature retention. Model decisions are logged as proofs, not payloads.

  • Air-gapped deploys with signed policy bundles
  • Role-segregated access & deterministic audit trails
  • Explainable alerts with analyst-grade evidence packs
FAQs
Can TailSalt operate without cloud?

Yes—our inference surfaces target edge compute with intermittent backhaul and are optimized for low-bandwidth synchronization.

What about false positives?

We couple anomaly scores with causal diagnostics and rule-based suppressors; alerts carry rationale, confidence, and suggested COAs.

How are models updated?

Signed, staged rollouts with progressive exposure and guardrails; every delta is provenance-tracked and reversible.
