DAF — Defense Agent Framework
Governed agent workflows for defense and national-security missions.
DAF gives defense and intelligence teams a governed way to deploy multi-agent AI beside existing systems, combining mission workflows, human approval gates, classification-aware controls, model routing, tool permissions, and replayable audit records. It is the clearest expression of the Trunnion control plane applied to sensitive environments.
DAF (Defense Agent Framework) is a governed multi-agent AI framework for defense and national-security missions, built and operated by Trunnion AI.
It runs on the Trunnion control plane: ABAC policy enforcement, six-layer tool authorization, a SHA-512 hash-chained audit trail, and human-in-the-loop approval gates, deployed to cloud, on-premise, or fully air-gapped environments. Trunnion AI is a Viceroy NM company.

Governed by design, like every Trunnion product.
DAF inherits the platform's governance, audit, and deployment patterns instead of rebuilding them: policy on every action, a human operator in command, and a record you can hand to an auditor.
Policy-aware governance
Attribute-based access control (ABAC) decides what every agent may see and do, per tenant, role, and classification.
Human-in-the-loop gates
Consequential actions pause for a named operator to approve, edit, or reject before anything executes.
Tamper-evident audit fabric
Every step is recorded in a SHA-512 hash chain with full reasoning traces and execution replay.
