Defensive
capability formation
308 Research designs, tests, and validates defensive systems in environments where failure is unacceptable. We operate between applied research and real deployment, delivering capability that strengthens allied resilience while remaining interoperable, auditable, and sovereign-aligned.
REQUEST 2-PAGER DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES ⛔︎
[ POSITION ]
308 Research develops validated defensive capability to deter escalation, reduce systemic vulnerability, and reinforce interoperability across allied systems.
Defensive by design
1 Applied research & system formation
2 Mission system prototyping
3 Interoperability and integration testing
4 Validation under operational constraints
[ DISTINCTION ]
Research, not delivery
308 Research is not a delivery or transformation organisation. It exists to create, prove, and stabilise capability under real operating constraints. Validated systems may later transition into 308 Continuity environments, but 308 Research remains research-led, containment-focused, and governed by controlled exposure.
[ PRINCIPLES ]
Domain agnostic
Capability designed to operate across platforms and environments.
Secure by default
Security, containment, and traceability embedded from inception.
Direct accountability
No intermediaries. Clear ownership of decisions and outcomes.
Compliance-aligned
Compliant with ITAR, EAR, and applicable export, security, and regulatory controls.
[ ENGAGEMENT ]
When systems must hold
308 Research engages where the mission is critical, the system boundary is unclear, and existing solutions fail under pressure.
We work selectively, prioritising technical judgement, trust, and long-term alignment over speed, scale, or volume.
