/ Pillar I — Software

The intelligence layer.

Sovereign AI software is the connective tissue of Obsidyan. Every sensor, every effector, every operator routes through the same model lineage and the same mission fabric — engineered first for the Nigerian Armed Forces, ONSA, and the national security architecture, then extended to ECOWAS, MNJTF, and continental partners.

Software
S-01ISR Fusion Platform

Aether

/ TheatreT1North-East NGT1North-West NGT2MNJTF

C2 fusion built for Defence Headquarters Abuja and forward divisions — 7 Div Maiduguri, 8 Div Sokoto, 6 Div Port Harcourt. Designed around Operation Hadin Kai, Operation Fansan Yamma, and Operation Delta Safe: ingesting NAF ISR, NN MDA feeds, NA UAV tracks, partner-nation MNJTF reporting, and HUMINT into one operator picture. Audit-traced decisions for ONSA and DHQ oversight.

S-02Mission Software

Citadel OS

/ TheatreT1NA Forward HQsT2Sahel FOBs

Hardened command surface for Nigerian forward operating bases — Monguno, Damasak, Geidam, Birnin Gwari, Bonny — where power is generator + solar, satcom is intermittent, and Harmattan dust and +48 °C are the baseline. Role-aware, zero-trust, degrades gracefully to HF when the bearer drops.

S-03Sovereign Foundation Model

Sentinel AI

/ TheatreT1Federal RepublicT2ECOWAS

Native coverage of Nigerian operating languages first — Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Kanuri, Fulfulde, Ijaw, Tiv, Nigerian Pidgin — then Francophone ECOWAS variants and broader continental languages. Doctrinally tuned against Nigerian National Defence Policy, ONSA guidance, and ECOWAS frameworks. Training lineage auditable by NITDA. Data residency strictly Nigerian: Galaxy Backbone, MainOne, and sovereign Lagos/Abuja datacenters — no transit through foreign clouds.

S-04Tactical Network

Link Mesh

/ TheatreT1Lake ChadT1Niger DeltaT1NW Forests

Self-healing radio mesh for the comms reality of Nigerian operations: GNSS-degraded corridors around Lake Chad, dense canopy in Sambisa and Falgore, mangrove RF in the Niger Delta creeks, scarce military satcom, and partner contingents still on legacy HF. Carries the same telemetry over HF, NigComSat, Iridium, Starlink, or 4G LTE.

S-05Predictive Analytics

Pulse

/ TheatreT1NW Banditry BeltT1Middle BeltT2Gulf of Guinea

Named threat forecasts for the Nigerian theatre: ISWAP and JAS movement around Lake Chad and Sambisa; bandit kinetic windows across Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kaduna; kidnapping pressure on the Kaduna–Abuja, Birnin Gwari, and Okene corridors; farmer–herder flashpoints in Plateau, Benue and Southern Kaduna; piracy and bunkering cycles in the Gulf of Guinea; election-period instability nationwide.

S-06On-Device Inference

Edge

/ TheatreT1NA Forward / Off-gridT3Continental partners

Sub-5W inference runtime sized for the Nigerian forward site — solar plus a small generator, no rack cooling. Open spec for partner platforms already in NAF, NA, and NN inventories: TB2, CH-3/CH-4, locally-assembled UGVs, NIMASA AIS receivers used for VBSS planning across the Bonny and Escravos approaches.

/ Doctrinal Note

"If your model lives on someone else's cloud, your decisions live on someone else's terms. For Nigeria — and for every African state that follows — software sovereignty is the precondition, not a feature."
