Six Days in the Field: What a Defense Deployment Teaches About Sovereign AI
Date & Time
Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 3:20 PM - 3:40 PM
Description

As AI becomes increasingly central to mission-critical operations, sovereignty is no longer simply a procurement consideration. It is a strategic and architectural imperative.Tactica AI, a sovereign AI company and Armada collaborated to deploy a modular AI-enabled data center in the field in just six days. While the location remains undisclosed, the lessons learned are highly relevant to organizations seeking to operationalize AI in contested, disconnected, or infrastructure-constrained environments.

In this session, Dr. Chaouki Kasmi, Co-Founder of TacticaAI, and Dan Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Armada, discuss the realities of deploying sovereign AI infrastructure where connectivity cannot be assumed, latency matters, and operational continuity is critical. Drawing from real-world experience, they will share practical insights on how organizations can rapidly move from AI ambition to operational capability.
