AI in defence: trust, transparency, and the human-in-the-loop imperative

Defence applications hold AI to a higher standard: systems must remain auditable, resilient, and explainable even under adversarial conditions. This whitepaper outlines the principles and architectural patterns that make trustworthy defence-grade AI possible. It examines why the human-in-the-loop imperative matters, how to design for resilience against manipulation, and what transparency looks like when the stakes could not be higher.
