GoZTASP: A Zero-Trust Platform for Governing Autonomous Systems at Mission Scale

GoZTASP is a mission-scale assurance and governance platform that integrates heterogeneous autonomous systems into a unified zero-trust architecture, enabling continuous verification of system integrity and resilient operation.

Details

GoZTASP 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), GoZTASP continuously verifies system integrity, enforces safety constraints, and enables resilient operation even under degraded conditions. The platform 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.
