Capabilities we're building before the requirement lands.

Garage Defense™ funds its own R&D. The capabilities below are active investments. Some will graduate into the Platform; some will stay in research. All are paid at private expense, which means our customers don't wait on contracting cycles to leverage emerging technology quickly.                              

Resilient PNT for Tactical Edge
GPS jamming and spoofing are now routine in contested theaters. We're researching multi-source timing and localization architectures - multi-modal timing and localization research for GPS-degraded environments, including precision time-distribution and inertial methods. fallbacks - that keep distributed edge nodes operational when satellite navigation is degraded or denied. Direct application to forward-deployed counter-UAS, sensor networks, and C-UAS interceptor guidance. This research complements our shipped Sovereign PNT Atlas on the Platform. Together they form the full Garage Defense PNT-resilience stack: where to find signals and how to stay timing-locked when those signals are denied.

Multi-Spectral Environmental Attribution
Multi-spectral environmental anomaly research with auditable attribution for compliance and enforcement workflows. We're researching new methods that cross-references environmental anomaly signatures with auditable attribution for compliance and enforcement workflows. Output has auditable decision  trails for compliance and enforcement workflows.

Mission-Module Architecture for Edge Software
Forward-deployed software needs to update across air-gapped, opportunistic, and contested-comms environments without compromising integrity. We're researching Edge software architecture for contested-communications environments, designed for one-time authorization and broad deployment.                               .                                                    

Next-Generation AI Governance
Independent dual confidence scoring - methodology details available under NDA is in production today. We're researching the next layer: provenance, formal verification, and counterfactual auditing for agentic systems - forward-compatible with DoDI 3000.09 §4.c. that allow commanders and oversight officers to reconstruct decision lineage on demand. Forward-compatible with DoDI 3000.09 §4.c review processes and emerging Pentagon AI accountability frameworks.
