Technology Partnership Announcement: KnectIQ and SRC UK Licensing Agreement for Defense Intelligence Platforms
Key Insights
KnectIQ (search) and SRC UK (search) announced a licensing agreement to integrate SelectiveTRUST® (search) technology into defense and intelligence platforms across allied nations.
The partnership combines KnectIQ (search)'s ephemeral key technology with SRC UK (search)'s World All Source Platform (search) (WASP (search)) to create sovereign, real-time security solutions.
The collaboration aims to establish new standards for machine-to-machine trust in autonomous defense systems and AI-enabled coalition operations.
KnectIQ (search), a leader in sovereign digital trust technologies, announced a new licensing agreement with SRC UK (search), an innovator in advanced defense and intelligence solutions. Under this agreement, SRC UK will integrate KnectIQ's patented SelectiveTRUST® (search) technology into select commercial and defense intelligence platforms, delivering enhanced performance, cost efficiency, and security to customers in the UK, USA, Europe, Australia and allied nations.
Addressing Modern Defense Security Challenges
The partnership addresses critical security challenges in an era where defense and national security increasingly depend on autonomous systems rather than solely human operators. According to the companies, machines, sensors, and AI models are making critical decisions in real time, at scale and across borders, while most current systems rely on decades-old protections including static credentials, keys, and vaults that have proven vulnerable to attacks.
The collaboration establishes a security fabric that is machine-to-machine native, sovereign by design, and built on ephemerality. This approach ensures that critical platforms operate with resilience and agility across multi-domain and coalition environments while maintaining cost-effectiveness and operational superiority over existing solutions.
Combined Technological Capabilities
The partnership leverages complementary strengths from both organizations. SRC UK (search) contributes expertise in electronic warfare, ISR at the edge, and AI-driven operational analytics, enabling faster and more accurate decision advantage in contested environments. KnectIQ (search) provides its patented ephemeral key technology, sovereign trust enclaves, and programmable trust fabric, which secure data in motion, enable machine-to-machine trust, and prevent breaches before they occur.
These combined capabilities deliver a unified approach to securing autonomous systems, trusted AI, and coalition operations under a single architecture designed for speed, sovereignty, and survivability.
Strategic Value Proposition
The partnership aims to deliver value across multiple levels of defense and intelligence operations. Defense and intelligence organizations gain sovereign control over digital trust and the agility to operate securely with coalition partners in real time. AI mission owners receive trusted, in situ data pipelines that protect intellectual property, model integrity, and sensitive mission data. Allied partners gain instant interoperability without surrendering control of their cryptographic keys or operational data.
Leadership Perspectives
"At its core, this agreement is about trust between allies, between systems, and between people and machines," said Ken Morris, CEO of KnectIQ (search). "The World All Source Platform (search) (WASP (search)) from SRC UK (search) and our SelectiveTRUST® (search) technology combine to create a sovereign, real-time security fabric for ISR and AI-enabled coalition operations. The pace of modern defense demands trust that moves as fast as decisions are made. Together, we deliver that reality."
Steve Davies, Managing Director of SRC UK (search), emphasized the customer-focused nature of the integration: "SRC UK has always been committed to delivering cutting-edge capabilities for our defense and intelligence customers. Integrating SelectiveTRUST® (search) with our core platform, WASP (search), allows us to offer not just performance and efficiency, but an entirely new standard of trust for machine-to-machine environments that our customers urgently need."
Market Deployment
SelectiveTRUST® (search)-powered SRC UK (search) solutions will be marketed across the UK, USA, Europe, and Australia, reflecting what the companies describe as urgent demand among allied nations for quantum-resistant, real-time trust solutions that scale with the needs of coalition defense and intelligence operations.
KnectIQ (search)'s SelectiveTRUST® (search) technology establishes device-rooted, verifiable trust relationships that protect data, networks, and AI systems across domains and mission environments. The technology is designed for real-time, secure interoperability, enabling governments and enterprises to operate with speed, confidence, and sovereignty in connected environments.
SRC UK (search) operates under a non-profit ethos focused on delivering optimal return on investment for public spending, as exemplified in their core product offering, the World All Source Platform (search) (WASP (search)).
