Overview
What DAF, Defense Agent Framework does
The Defense Agent Framework (DAF) is an agentic AI design for defense primes, program offices, and national security agencies. It uses air-gap-compatible architecture, ITAR-aware practices, and security controls intended for isolated mission environments.
DAF is designed to support mission-planning workflows, OSINT processing, and reporting. It runs on the Trunnion AI orchestration framework with a policy engine, audit logging, and human approval checkpoints. Any classified use requires a program-provided accredited environment, appropriately cleared personnel, an approved boundary, and written authorization.

Capabilities
Inside DAF, Defense Agent Framework
- Air-gap-compatible architecture
- DAF is designed to run without external network access. Classified operation requires the program to provide the accredited environment, cleared personnel, and authorization.
- ITAR-aware development
- Security controls and ITAR-aware development practices are applied throughout, matching the regulatory regime of defense and national-security work.
- Classification-aware deployment design
- DAF includes controls intended to support classification-aware deployment design; that design does not itself establish accreditation, authorization, or clearance status.
- Autonomous mission planning support
- Agentic workflows assist with mission planning, keeping operators in command through human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
- OSINT processing
- DAF agents process open-source intelligence and produce structured outputs for downstream analysis.
- Reporting
- The framework generates reports from agent activity, with full audit logging of the underlying actions.
DAF, Defense Agent Framework is built on Trunnion AI, the group's multi-agent orchestration framework. Explore the fullproduct portfolioor learn how we buildsoftware & applied AIfor government and defense.
Frequently Asked
Common questions
What is DAF (Defense Agent Framework)?
DAF (Defense Agent Framework) is an agentic AI design for defense primes, program offices, and national security agencies. It features air-gap-compatible architecture, ITAR-aware practices, human approval controls, and support for mission-planning workflows, OSINT processing, and reporting.
Can DAF be deployed in classified environments?
DAF is designed for isolated and air-gapped operation. A classified deployment is possible only inside a program-provided accredited environment with appropriately cleared personnel, an approved security boundary, and written authorization. Viceroy NM does not represent that it holds a facility clearance or cleared-personnel status.
What can DAF's agents do?
DAF supports autonomous mission planning, OSINT (open-source intelligence) processing, and reporting. Like all Viceroy NM AI products, it runs on the Trunnion AI framework with human-in-the-loop controls and full audit logging, so autonomous steps remain governed and reviewable.
Who is DAF for?
DAF is intended for defense primes, program offices, and national security agencies evaluating agentic AI for isolated or ITAR-regulated environments. Availability and authorization depend on the contract and the program-provided security boundary.
