ZTASP is a mission-scale assurance and governance platform designed for autonomous systems operating in real-world environments. It integrates heterogeneous systems—including drones, robots, sensors, and human operators—into a unified zero-trust architecture. Through Secure Runtime Assurance (SRTA) and Secure Spatio-Temporal Reasoning (SSTR), ZTASP continuously verifies system integrity, enforces safety constraints, and enables resilient operation even under degraded conditions.
ZTASP has progressed beyond conceptual design, with operational validation at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 in mission critical environments. Core components, including Saluki secure flight controllers, have reached TRL8 and are deployed in customer systems. While initially developed for high-consequence mission environments, the same assurance challenges are increasingly present across domains such as healthcare, transportation, and critical infrastructure.
Zero Trust Architecture is a security model that assumes that threats could be both external and internal. It requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the network perimeter.
Autonomous systems are technologies capable of performing tasks without human intervention, utilizing AI and machine learning algorithms to make decisions based on data. These systems are increasingly used in various fields, including robotics, transportation, and manufacturing, enhancing efficiency and safety.
