Delivering Mission-Critical Intelligence Context in Under 50ms

A defense agency deployed mantle to provide real-time intelligence context from classified and unclassified sources to AI-powered analysis agents operating in high-tempo environments.

The Challenge

Intelligence analysts relied on AI agents that needed to correlate data from signals intelligence, human intelligence reports, geospatial feeds, and open-source monitoring. Each source operated in its own classified enclave with strict data movement restrictions.

Traditional data fusion approaches required moving data between enclaves — a process that took days of approvals and introduced unacceptable operational delays. Analysts were making time-critical decisions with incomplete context.

The Solution

mantle deployed within each security enclave, reading data in place with zero-copy architecture. Cross-domain entity resolution operated through approved security boundaries, correlating entities without transferring raw intelligence data between classification levels.

AI analysis agents now receive fused context from all available sources in under 50ms. Provenance tracking ensures every data point carries its classification marking and source attribution through the entire context delivery chain.
