🚀 DEFONEOS — The Future
From 30 MCP servers and 58 live pages to the UK's comprehensive sovereign defence AI ecosystem. Open-source. Quantum-safe. British-built. Forever sovereign.
The 2030 Vision
DEFONEOS becomes the UK's standard sovereign AI operating system for defence, emergency services, and critical national infrastructure — open-source, transparent, BFT-governed, and quantum-safe. An alternative to Palantir that the British public can audit, verify, and trust. Deployed across every military branch, every blue-light service, and every government department that handles sensitive AI decisions.
30→100 MCP Servers (by Q1 2027) Expanding from 30 to 100+ MCP servers covering every defence, civil service, and critical infrastructure domain
100+ P0 Repos Integrated Full integration of 100+ open-source defence projects into the DEFONEOS platform
5 NATO Allies Onboarded Five Eyes + AUKUS partner nations running sovereign DEFONEOS deployments by 2027
£50M Contract Pipeline (by 2028) First £50M in government/defence contracts: MOD, Home Office, NHS emergency, local resilience forums
