Artificial Intelligence for Defense

Defense and Security

Situational awareness determines the outcome of an operation. We apply artificial intelligence to understand the combat environment: the system observes and interprets, and highlights what matters. This frees up the commander’s attention to make decisions and take action.

Our Approach

How We Approach the Industry

Four design principles that we apply to all our defense projects.

The operator at the center

We design to reduce cognitive load, not to add screens. The decision always rests with the individual.

Modular and interoperable

Replaceable components and the ability to integrate with command-and-control systems and interoperability chains that the customer already uses.

Edge Processing

The intelligence runs on the user's own device. No cloud, no third-party services, and no operational data leaves the theater of operations.

On the existing platform

Our software is designed to be deployed on the equipment the unit already has, and to be ported to the customer's platforms afterward.

The Challenge

The problem isn't a lack of information

In the theater of operations, there is an abundance of data but a shortage of time. The three constraints that define the problem are always the same: limited human attention and capabilities, unreliable communication links, and data sovereignty that must not be compromised.

Human capabilities are being overwhelmed

A single drone generates more information and metadata than a team of people can review in real time. The bottleneck isn't the sensor—it's the operator.

Communications that are degraded or subject to interference

Any solution that relies on remote services ceases to function when the connection deteriorates or is lost. The decision, however, cannot wait.

Sovereign Information

Operational information requires national control: over the data and the technology that processes it. Outsourcing it is not an option: it is a matter of data sovereignty.

The advantage isn't in having more information. 

It's about understanding it first.

Capabilities

Enabling Technologies

Multispectral computer vision

Detection and tracking of objects of interest by combining visible and infrared spectra, under any lighting conditions.

Merging Sensors and Metadata

Integration of various image, telemetry, and metadata sources into a single, coherent representation

Local Language Models

Ability to reason based on available information, without connecting to external services or sending data.

Natural Language Voice Interaction

On-device voice recognition and synthesis, so you can access information and receive notifications hands-free and without taking your eyes off the road.

Autonomy and Coordination of Unmanned Platforms

Management of multiple platforms as a coordinated system, focused on monitoring and early warning.

Electronic Engineering, Certification, and Industrialization

Design, certification, and production of equipment for demanding environments, with an in-house engineering department.

IronView

IronView is our product line for intelligent operator assistance in the field: a system that interprets information from available sensors, identifies what is relevant, and communicates with the user in natural language, operating completely autonomously from the cloud. Its purpose is simple to state but difficult to achieve: to ensure that the decision-maker receives what they need to know, when they need to know it, without having to search for it.

Due to the nature of the industry, IronView's technical information is not publicly available. We share documentation, functional scope, and demonstrations with qualified organizations, units, and integrators, subject to a confidentiality agreement.

Areas of Application

Scenarios in which our capabilities add value from the very first deployment.

rugged-computer-ironview-intelligent-data-1

Drone-vs.-Drone Combat

The assistant detects and classifies enemy UAS threats in real time, alerts the operator via voice, and coordinates the swarm's response without manual intervention.

Light Surveillance and Reconnaissance

Rapid scanning of large areas and prioritization of points of interest for ground teams.

Nighttime Operation in Conditions of Reduced Visibility

Continuity of observation when light, smoke, or weather conditions are no longer favorable.

Support for Deployed Units

Monitoring the immediate surroundings and providing early warning, so that the unit can remain focused on its mission.

Protection of Critical Routes and Infrastructure

Monitoring of routes, access points, and perimeters with alerts in the event of unusual activity.

Impaired navigation and communications

Standalone operation when satellite positioning and data links are unavailable.

Why Intelligent Data?

Intelligent Data has been developing its own technology for over 30 years. It has been 100% Spanish-owned since its inception, with design and manufacturing taking place in Spain.

Since 1993

Founded by telecommunications engineers, with more than three decades of experience in electronic engineering and R&D&I.

Spanish Technology

In-house development, without reliance on suppliers or export licenses from third countries.

Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing

Platforms, models, and virtual assistants deployed in regulated and demanding industries.

Recognized R&D&I

"Innovative SME" designation from the Ministry of Science and Innovation and an ongoing partnership with the University of Alcalá.

Design and Certification

Proven experience in product certification processes and design recognized with international awards.

In-house manufacturing capacity

Department of Industrialization and Production, with manufacturing in Spain.

Certified processes at every level

At Defensa, information security isn't an afterthought—it's a prerequisite. Our processes are certified under the National Security Scheme (MEDIUM category) and ISO 27001, and are independently audited to the same rigorous standards we apply to every AI model we deploy at the edge.

Our Commitment to Innovation

Intelligent Data is a partner of the Artificial Intelligence Cluster of the Community of Madrid. We are part of the ecosystem that drives the development and responsible application of AI, with the goal of ensuring that cutting-edge technology in this field is conceived and built in Spain.

Intelligent Data is part of the Defense Industry Cluster. We share with the other members a commitment to strengthening a national defense industry that is autonomous, technologically sovereign, and capable of competing on equal footing on the international stage.

Data Sovereignty and Compliance

Our solutions are designed to ensure that operational data remains where it is generated and under the client’s control, with a focus on integration into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) interoperability chains and the national information security framework. The specific scope of compliance is defined and validated with each client based on the platform and use case.

How We Understand Technological Sovereignty

Data Sovereignty: Resilience is a requirement, not an option. The decision is always a human one.

Let's talk about your operational needs

If you work for an agency, unit, or company in this sector and would like to explore how to apply these skills to a specific problem, the quickest way is to have a conversation. We respond to requests from identified organizations and sign a confidentiality agreement before going into detail.
