Product description

Machine learning systems are typically built on the assumption that data can be centralised, moved freely, and processed in one place. In many real-world environments this no longer holds. Data is distributed across devices, organisations, or jurisdictions, networks are unreliable, and raw data cannot be moved without violating security, privacy, or operational constraints.

Scaleout Edge provides infrastructure for operating machine learning under these conditions. It coordinates training, deployment, and governance across decentralised systems while keeping data local by design, allowing models to improve over time without centralising data and while maintaining control, traceability, and visibility across the full model lifecycle.

Showcase

Autonomous Defence Drone System

BAE Systems Bofors developed an autonomous long-range drone system for Arctic operations in just five months. The system was built with Nordic and Ukrainian startups and academic partners, using a modular design that adapts to different mission profiles and launch platforms.

Autonomy is driven by an Edge AI framework from Scaleout. The drones train and update models locally through federated learning, allowing them to operate independently in disconnected or contested environments without relying on centralised data links.

Further background on the programme is covered in this interview in Dagens Industri with Lena Gillström (CEO at Bofors): https://www.di.se/digital/bofors-rekordbygger-dronare-oppnar-for-miljardaffarer/

AI-driven Satellite Data Processing

Swedish National Space Agency and Scaleout are collaborating on a research project to reduce bandwidth demands and increase autonomy in satellite operations across civilian and defence missions.

The project applies active learning directly on satellites to filter and prioritise data before downlink, combined with federated learning between satellites and ground stations. This allows AI models to improve without sharing raw data, preserving security and data sovereignty.

A prototype will be tested in anomaly detection, collaborative object detection, and defence-oriented C4ISR scenarios, enabling timely insight even in bandwidth-constrained or disrupted environments.

Speaking Engagements

About Scaleout and Our Speaking Focus
Scaleout develops sovereign AI software for edge applications, specializing in Federated Learning frameworks that enable secure, decentralized machine learning in contested and communication-constrained environments.

Our speaking engagements typically address:

  • Decentralized AI architectures for dual-use, defense and tactical edge operations
  • Data sovereignty and security through federated learning approaches
  • Rapid deployment cycles for autonomous systems in disconnected environments
  • Assurance and resilience in AI systems operating without centralized infrastructure
  • Practical implementations including our NATO DIANA Challenge Programme work (FEDAIR project) and defense partnerships

Our team brings both academic research depth and operational deployment experience, demonstrated through projects like our five-month autonomous drone system development with BAE Systems Bofors for Arctic operations.
