LONDON - Defence Holdings PLC (ALRT), a UK-based software-led defence company, has published a whitepaper titled "AI-Native Infrastructure for Modern Defence Operations," according to a press release issued Wednesday.
The document outlines the strategic importance of nations maintaining sovereign control over digital infrastructure that supports defence operations. The whitepaper aligns with the company’s five-year strategic plan and priorities established in the UK’s Strategic Defence Review 2025.
The publication explores operational challenges in deploying infrastructure across intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), autonomous systems, digital command environments, and influence operations. It highlights potential risks of relying on foreign-hosted, commercially-managed digital platforms, particularly in compromised environments.
"Sovereign control over infrastructure is no longer a strategic luxury. It’s a requirement for credible national defence," said Andy McCartney, Senior Non-Executive Director of Defence Holdings, in a statement.
The whitepaper examines threat vectors across various defence domains and discusses requirements for auditability, transparency, and ethical enforcement at the system level. It also addresses how sovereign infrastructure control supports interoperability standards among the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.
Brian Stockbridge, Executive Director, stated that the UK’s Strategic Defence Review 2025 identifies trusted digital infrastructure as "fundamental to UK sovereignty."
Defence Holdings PLC describes itself as focusing on developing and acquiring AI-driven analytics, autonomous systems, secure communications, and critical infrastructure solutions across multiple domains.
The full whitepaper is available through the company’s digital platform.
