In 2019, Cognitive Code licensed SILVIA™ to Northrop Grumman for integration into the IBCS Poland Training System. Today, SILVIA powers real-time voice interaction and logical reasoning at the heart of NATO’s most advanced air and missile defense simulations.
Deployed since 2024 under the European Sky Shield Initiative, SILVIA enables:
Voice-directed command & control → accelerating operator training and readiness
Deterministic reasoning → eliminating hallucinations and ensuring explainable decisions
Secure, local execution → protecting full data sovereignty with no cloud exposure
Embedded integration → seamlessly deployed across .NET and Unity simulation systems
As NATO modernizes its integrated defense posture, SILVIA stands as the explainable AI foundation trusted for Europe’s most advanced multi-domain readiness environment.
Since 2013, Northrop Grumman has licensed Cognitive Code’s SILVIA™ platform to power SAdIE — the Synthetic Adaptable Intelligent Entity trusted in classified defense environments.
Built on SILVIA’s deterministic agent architecture, SAdIE delivers:
Complete data sovereignty → operates fully offline, safeguarding mission data
Lightweight deployment → runs in only a few megabytes across servers, field devices, and mobile platforms
Deterministic processing → predictable, explainable outcomes instead of black-box inference
Customizable workflows → rapidly adapts to mission or enterprise-specific domains
Northrop Grumman has since extended SILVIA’s architecture into advanced initiatives — from fraud prevention systems to DARPA’s OCARINA in-flight AI assistant for the Blackhawk helicopter.
For over a decade, SILVIA has proven itself as the secure AI engine of choice for Tier-1 defense and aerospace leaders.
In 2025, Cognitive Code was formally registered with SAM.gov and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) — enabling direct contracting with U.S. government and defense agencies.
With deployments already spanning NATO and Northrop Grumman, SILVIA is now fully procurement-ready for mission-critical federal applications.
SILVIA integrates inference and execution seamlessly into your programs and devices, whether on-premise or remote.
SILVIA is fully cross-platform, built to be portable, and designed for exquisite customization from the ground up.
SILVIA is Language-Agnostic, and can be trained to handle input of any machine or human-readable format.
Built in Microsoft’s enterprise-grade .NET Framework, and integrated extensively with Unity, SILVIA’s embedded C# Compiler enables powerful software, hardware, data, and access controls.
Listen, Infer, Validate, Execute.
SILVIA’s deterministic inference algorithm and security protocols dramatically lower your attack surface in mission-critical applications.
SILVIA’s architecture gives you flexibility of input, be it language, data, software events, or sensor readings from devices.
SILVIA Agents carry out their instructions to the letter and cannot be “convinced” to obey an attacker.
Most AI’s are talkers. SILVIA is a doer, meant for both proactive & reactive software systems.
SILVIA makes efficient Assistants, Agents, Process Monitors, NPCs, Virtual Representatives, Robotics Controllers, all with the same base API.
SILVIA can work with applications and services on any platform, integrating as deeply as you need.
SILVIA’s command and control capabilities take businesses to the next level. Don’t take our word for it.
“SILVIA is the most secure and complete voice and visual technology for the combined effort of developing a perfect interface for training systems.”
– Northrop Grumman
“SILVIA is breathing life into virtual beings and voice interfaces by converging technology and entertainment here at AT&T SHAPE.”
– AT&T
“This amazing technology embeds into a multitude of products, it functions in multiple languages while interpreting expansive amounts of data.”
– TechCrunch
“A breakthrough in NLP and artificial intelligence technology. Offers amazing conversational interactions with engaging and intelligent digital avatars. This is a game-changer.”
– Engagdet
SILVIA Agents offer you unparalleled levels of control within and beyond your devices and applications.
SILVIA can initiate, monitor, and complete all manner of tasks, whether remote or local, automatic or on-demand. Direct binding to software, hardware, and API commands enables complex task flows to be triggered and managed simply through natural human interfacing, unattended automation, or semi-attended control.
SILVIA’s Natural Language Processing reduces the number of commands needed to perform detailed tasks. Commands that require hundreds of actions can be initiated with a single sentence. Inform, interact, and execute entirely hands-free with TTS and Speech Recognition.
Unlike other AI Agents, SILVIA is suitable for mission-critical industry applications. No open-faced pile of visible scripts, no commonplace libraries with constant exploits and vulnerabilities published and patched weekly. SILVIA Core is uniquely secure from its very kernel.
