Autodefence — proof that holds for decades.
Diagnostics, traceability and software lifecycle management for defence platforms with decades-long service lives. In defence service since 2012, on programmes for Saab, FMV and BAE Systems Bofors.
The problem
A 35-year asset, a 5-year tool chain.
Defence platforms serve for thirty to forty years. The silicon, operating systems and test tools they were delivered with turn over every few years. A platform that cannot be diagnosed cannot be confidently returned to service — and if the only route to its ECUs runs through a single vendor's proprietary tool, readiness depends on that vendor's commercial decisions.
What we do
Traceability under the hardest requirements.
- 01
System safety, hazard tracking and SBOM traceability
Every requirement, hazard and software component tracked from specification to verified function — the evidence chain that defence certification and audits demand.
- 02
Diag Studio and ALM/PLM audit support
Off-board diagnostics for defence platforms, plus the application-lifecycle backbone that keeps decades of configuration history auditable.
- 03
Sustainment across the full platform lifecycle
Defence platforms serve for 30–40 years. We stay through upgrades, re-certifications and generation shifts — the long-term partner the platform's lifespan requires.

Standards
Standards we work to.
- 01
H SystSäk 2022
The supplier's activities and deliverables the handbook names — SSPP, SAR, SCA — and a delivery model shaped around them rather than bolted on at the end.
- 02
ISO 26262 → MIL-STD-882E
What automotive functional-safety evidence carries over to a defence programme, and what has to be learned: mishap scope and formal risk acceptance.
- 03
UN R155 / R156 and ISO/SAE 21434
The diagnostic channel as a regulated attack surface, and the secured update path — the automotive frame that defence programmes are converging on.
- 04
Tool-independent by design
UDS (ISO 14229), ODX (ISO 22901) and DoIP (ISO 13400) as the reason the diagnostic capability outlives any one vendor's tool.
