Increasing Trust and Reducing Bias: Legal-Grounded AI for Intelligence and Targeting From Washington to London, AI is taking on a larger role in intelligence, security, and targeting decisions. The question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to use it in ways that are fair, lawful, trusted, and just.

Adarga Awarded Expanded Defence AI Contract and Multi-Year Renewal Adarga, the leader in AI-driven information intelligence, has been awarded a significantly expanded AI contract by Defence Support, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). This includes a multi-year renewal for use of Adarga’s Vantage software, alongside a significant investment in applied AI services to accelerate and deepen intelligence capabilities that identify threats to UK military supply chains in a fast-paced and evermore complex information environment. This enables the UK, working with NATO, to sustain a larger force at greater reach for longer periods of time.
Beyond the Agent: Why Sovereign AI Demands Neuro-Symbolic Foundations As defence and national security organisations accelerate the adoption of agentic AI, the question of sovereignty becomes more urgent.In this piece, we explore how neuro-symbolic methods can help restore control by combining neural perception with symbolic reasoning to ensure AI systems act with context, accountability, and alignment.
DSEI 2025: Innovation, Integration, and the Digital Targeting Web
Why Mission Threads Matter More Than Clever Tools Most AI failures in defence don't stem from weak models. They fail at the joins, where data meets policy, where insight meets the operational brief, where decisions meet the people executing them. When these connections break down, even talented teams spend their time patching gaps instead of delivering results. Friction mounts, deadlines slip, and trust erodes. The solution isn't adding more features. It's building a clear mission thread.
DSEI 2021 was an incredible event with lots of noteworthy announcements including our strategic partnership with KBR, Inc. We've been working on a few exciting things together behind the scenes and look forward to sharing more soon! "Adarga is pleased to be partnering with KBR to expand the AI capabilities of customers across defence and national security. Together we will be able to provide customers with a transformational ability to leverage data as a strategic asset – a vital element of modern defence capability.” Robert Bassett Cross Adarga CEO “This partnership is an exciting step to enhance our innovative and highly dependable solutions-focused approach across key markets, with a shared ethos to help our customers resolve their most complex challenges.” Andrew Barrie, KBR President, Government Solutions EMEA.
European Leadership Network (ELN) has licensed Adarga’s AI software to more rapidly gain an understanding of emerging threats buried within huge volumes of open-source information. We will support the ELN in their vital work to prevent existential conflict, using AI to enhance their expert capacity to address the most pressing foreign, defence and security policy challenges at a time that could not be more important or more relevant. Adarga’s Knowledge Platform will accelerate the ELN’s ability to research and report on emerging geopolitical situations, where time and accuracy are of the essence, by automating the time-intensive processes involved with collecting, reading, and analysing millions of documents, as well as other data sources.
We are proud to be supporting the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs's vital work in informing policy around climate change and other environmental issues threatening our human and national security. Together we are pushing the boundaries of AI-assisted foresight development to determine and anticipate the narratives influencing key environmental policies - surfacing data-driven intelligence buried across a myriad of global information sources.
