NATO Hedgehog 2025: The Wake-Up Call

In May 2025, a small Ukrainian drone team demonstrated that AI-driven coordination defeats conventional doctrine. Every capability gap exposed maps directly to an ADO module.

Capability Gaps Exposed

No real-time situational awareness
Slow decision-making chain (hours vs minutes)
No counter-UAS detection or response
Poor field reporting & SALUTE compliance
No adaptive training for drone warfare
Intelligence data vulnerable to interception

ADO Platform — Addressed

6-INT AI fusion with real-time correlation
AI-generated OPORD in minutes, not hours
UAV tracking with pattern recognition & alerting
Voice-to-SALUTE with AI parsing & C2 export
Scenario-based training with AI debrief
ChunkWorks QuSec™ quantum-resistant encryption

All six operational gaps from Hedgehog 2025 are directly addressed by existing ADO modules. ADO is not a concept — it is an operational prototype addressing proven market demand.

Mission

To transform defence operational workflows by leveraging dual-use AI technology that reduces administrative burden, accelerates decision-making, and enhances situational awareness.

Vision

To be a leading innovator in dual-use AI solutions, bridging proven civilian AI technology with defence applications to strengthen NATO operational capability.

Dual-Use Innovation

The Dutch Defence Innovation Opportunity

The Netherlands Ministry of Defence is actively investing in dual-use technologies — innovations that serve both civilian and military purposes. AI Defence Operations directly aligns with this strategic direction.

Defence Operations Need AI Support

⏱️

Time-Critical Decisions

Commanders need faster access to analysed intelligence for mission-critical decisions

📋

Reporting Overhead

Manual reporting consumes valuable operational time that could be spent on core tasks

🔍

Information Overload

Multi-source intelligence requires rapid fusion and pattern recognition beyond human capacity

🎓

Training Realism

Scenario-based training needs dynamic, AI-generated situations for effective skill development

ChunkWorks QuSec™ Data Layer

Quantum-resistant encryption protecting all intelligence data flows — at rest, in transit, and for AI model data.

  • Post-quantum cryptography (SABER + Ed25519)
  • Data chunking — no single point of compromise
  • Crypto-agility for future-proof algorithm switching
  • EU data sovereignty — Tier-1 EU data centers
Data Protection Layer

Why Quantum-Resistant Encryption Matters

Hedgehog 2025 showed that AI-driven kill chains depend on secure data flows. The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat makes quantum-resistant encryption an operational necessity, not a future concern.

🧬 Post-Quantum Cryptography

Hybrid encryption using NIST-compliant quantum-resistant algorithms. Protection against both current threats and future quantum computing attacks.

🧩 Data Chunking

Files are split into encrypted fragments distributed across multiple locations. Even if compromised, only an unusable fragment is captured.

🔄 Crypto-Agility

Rapid switching of encryption algorithms if a method is compromised. Future-proof by design, not by promise.

🇪🇺 EU Data Sovereignty

All data remains in Tier-1 EU data centers. Fully compliant with GDPR and European sovereignty requirements.
