Sovereign Digital Thread for Secure Shipbuilding Design
EF 2025-26 · 2025-09-01
Résumé
This project advances secure, AI-enabled digital engineering workflows for regulated shipbuilding in Canada. It explores Canadian-sovereign secure enclave architectures for project execution and software development, alongside AI-assisted techniques to convert complex shipbuilding inputs (such as legacy technical drawings and documents) into structured, traceable digital assets. The project aims to reduce information overload, speed expert validation, and detect design issues early, while maintaining human accountability and auditability.
