Defense & Dual-Use Tech Investment (VC, Private Equity, M&A)
Helping Venture Capital (VC), Private Equity (PE), Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) Teams Perform Tech & Regulatory Diligence Across The Physical AI Tech Stack
Our proprietary Systems Assurance and Technology Diligence frameworks, combined with HORIZON-X — our dual-use, AI-native SaaS platform — deliver institutional-grade visibility into Supply Chain, Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), and Regulatory Risk across Physical AI, Autonomous Vehicles, and Robotics (PAI-AVR) systems. Purpose-built for Venture Capital, Private Equity, and M&A transactions, HORIZON-X enables investors to evaluate complex dual-use technology stacks not only for cybersecurity risk, but against global Defense and Commercial Regulatory standards — including U.S. NDAA, NATO frameworks, the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill (CSRB).
We assess risk across the entire technology stack — from Hardware and Firmware, Operating Systems, Middleware, and Communications, through the AI Perception, Planning, and Control layers; Human–Robot Interaction; Cloud and Edge Infrastructure; Simulation and Testing environments; and the AI SDK layer .
Leveraging AI-native Supply Chain, FOCI, and Regulatory analytics, we evaluate system assurance, component provenance, foreign nexus exposure, and compliance alignment — delivering a unified, system-level view of Technical, Geopolitical, and Regulatory Risk.
The result is structured, transaction-ready intelligence that strengthens investment committee decision-making, informs valuation and pricing adjustments, reduces post-acquisition remediation costs, and mitigates regulatory and national security exposure.
Practitioner-Led Services
In addition to our dual-use, AI-native SaaS platform, Fidelitas Defense provides Practitioner-Led Assurance, Risk Assessment, and Training Services delivered by former U.S. Intelligence Community and Military veterans with decades of trusted operational cybersecurity experience. Our experts bring deep, hands-on knowledge of Physical AI, Autonomous Systems, and Robotics (PAI-AVR) risk, including work in high-consequence, regulated environments. This enables mission-aligned guidance and risk mitigation against Nation-State, Organized Crime, Insider, and Hacktivist threats, along with actionable, defensible insights for organizations operating in sensitive or classified domains.
