The Assurance Gap
Every AI system deployed in a defense or critical program environment is monitored for performance. None are certified for behavioral integrity — continuously, independently, and in real time.
AI vendors certify what their models are designed to do. They cannot certify what those models actually do in your operational environment. SentinelForgeAI Systems occupies the layer between those two claims — the only hardware-anchored behavioral certification system designed for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure deployment.
What SentinelForge Does
SentinelForge operates as an independent certification layer — running alongside any AI stack without integration into the AI system itself. It monitors behavioral outputs at 1Hz, compares them against certified baselines, and generates a continuous audit trail that satisfies both internal program assurance requirements and external compliance mandates.
Behavioral Polling
1Hz continuous monitoring against certified output baselines
Hardware Anchor
Raspberry Pi taps (~$120/node) independent of the AI stack
Vendor Agnostic
Certifies any AI framework — no vendor lock, no integration risk
Audit Trail
Continuous certification record for program assurance and compliance
Foreign AI Risk
Detects behavioral drift from foreign-origin components per NDAA §5949
Post-Quantum Ready
CRYSTALS-Kyber / Dilithium for certification integrity at Q-Day
Deployment Options
