NAVI: AI-Assisted Hardware Teardown

Customer Challenges

For federal customers and innovation teams, such as the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), that must rapidly:

Scale Testing

Scale UxS hardware assessments to overcome repetitive and error prone manual processes

Audit Supply-Chains

Evaluate supply chain security for commercial-based platforms with military use

Reduce Labor

Reduce the time and labor needed to assess platforms

We offer our NAVI solution for faster and more comprehensive hardware penetration assessments.

NAVI provides AI augmented support for UxS and other hardware teardowns, combining evidence capture with the latest LLM and OCR technologies to automatically classify and research hardware components. This enables NAVI to produce a reliable hardware bill of material from visual images. NAVI uses component markings, connector/pin-counts, and component context to affirmatively identify hardware components and, to the extent possible, identify each of the component’s country of origin to enhance supply chain security.

How does NAVI work?

Features and Benefits

The Dark Wolf Difference​

Unlike current ad-hoc processes and static, single-use reports, NAVI is a fully integrated, collaborative platform that fuses data capture with AI-powered analysis at the point of discovery. This cuts the time to conduct a physical system teardown and generate an actionable supply chain report by 50%, while automatically producing a detailed component list in a centralized, searchable database of all components and associated media.

Customer Successes

As a DIU Blue UAS Recognized Assessor, our test teams have a deep understanding of the full Cyber profile of UAS hardware and software. This understanding has been leveraged to comprehensively assess over forty platforms and countless components used by the US military and commercial organizations. We use NAVI in these assessments to lower the time and effort necessary to perform component characterization as well as improving assessment fidelity.
