GFT and INTEC: accelerating sovereign AI for defence modernisation

Defence organisations are under growing pressure to modernise ageing mission-critical systems faster while maintaining sovereignty, resilience and operational control. At the same time, backlogs in sustainment, fragmented lifecycle processes and heavy manual effort in documentation and maintenance continue to slow readiness and increase complexity.

The partnership between GFT and INTEC is designed to address the challenge directly. The collaboration brings together GFT’s responsible AI engineering, sovereign AI architectures and Wynxx Agentic AI Platform with INTEC’s deep defence domain expertise, end-to-end system integration capabilities, and full lifecycle management including Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), compliant and certifiable system delivery, training, and operational support for complex, mission- and safety-critical systems.

Together, the partnership helps defence organisations move beyond isolated AI pilots towards scalable operational capability. The joint approach is built for sovereign and classified environments, where explainability, governance and national control are essential, and where generic AI solutions are often not fit for purpose.

• For new and existing clients, the benefit is practical as well as strategic. The partnership creates a clearer path to modernising legacy software environments, accelerating technical documentation, optimising ILS processes, and improving sustainment across the full system lifecycle.

• The combined offering supports a more secure and future-ready operating model. By using a model-agnostic and manufacturer-neutral architecture, organisations can reduce dependency and vendor lock-in while keeping data, models and operational decisions under national control.

• Initial focus areas include sovereign AI and data foundations for classified environments, legacy software modernisation, lifecycle and ILS optimisation, and AI-accelerated technical documentation and maintenance workflows. Across these use cases, the aim is the same: faster modernisation, stronger operational readiness and better control over mission-critical systems.
