- Typical first release
- 6 weeks
What changes when it is defence & aerospace
Vision models fail on lighting, not on architecture. We collect from your actual line, in your actual conditions, because a model trained on clean images will not survive a real shift.
In defence & aerospace, systems must run fully air-gapped, on open weights, with no external dependency whatsoever. That single fact reshapes how computer vision has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is imagery analysis, usually integrated against sensor systems. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around

Questions from this sector
Can it work fully offline?
Yes, open-weight models on local infrastructure, with no external API calls at any point in the pipeline.
What about indigenous requirements?
Open-weight models deployed on Indian infrastructure with source-available components satisfy most indigenous content criteria; we structure builds accordingly.
How much training data do we need?
It depends on defect variability, but a few hundred well-labelled examples per class is a realistic starting point. We design the collection protocol first so the data you gather is actually usable.
Does it run without internet?
Yes. We deploy at the edge with offline tolerance, syncing results when connectivity returns, essential in most plant environments.
What accuracy can we expect?
We report precision and recall per defect class against a held-out set from your line, rather than a single headline number. The honest figure varies by class and we show which ones are hard.
