Agent Control Plane Reference Architecture (ACP-RA)
🎧A reference architecture for governed, scalable agentic autonomy—single agents and swarms—aligned to DoD CIO patterns (Zero Trust, ICAM, CNAP, DevSecOps, cATO) and designed for contested/degraded operations.
From AI Force Multiplication to Force Creation
A white paper on agentic autonomy, trust scopes, and strategic imperatives for defense.
Notes: Research that shaped ACP-RA (agent security, tool use, evaluation)
Reading notes on prompt injection, tool-use at scale, and execution-based evaluation that drove ACP-RA design choices (gateways, envelopes, evidence, anti-replay, and upgrade discipline).
Operating Principles
- Mission assurance over novelty: contested operations first, graceful degradation always
- Governed autonomy by default: trust scopes, policy gates, and operator override paths
- Evidence before action: signed traces, provenance, and auditable decisions
- Control planes over point solutions: PDP/PIP/PEP patterns with clean system boundaries
- Continuous adversarial validation: evals, red-teaming, and rollback as normal operations
Engagement
Consulting and hands-on support for high-tempo delivery. Include mission outcome and timeline in your intake.
- Architecture & modernization (cloud platforms, control planes, migration plans)
- Delivery systems (paved roads, CI/CD, SLOs, observability, rollback)
- Governed autonomy (evals, trust scopes, policy + audit trails)
- Proposal support (whitepapers, technical volumes, RFI/RFP responses)
