Purpose and goal
We will build an Agentic AI platform that boosts psychological operations effectiveness by 40–60%, cuts message development from weeks to hours, and strengthens NATO’s information warfare. We will bring proven civilian AI design intelligence into military challenges and use Agent Q to quantify human perceptions - originating in our work for automotive - to create the first multi-agent AI architecture that understands the context of a task and optimize psychological warfare effectiveness.
Expected effects and result
We will deliver a validated Agent Q prototype at TRL 5–6, demonstrating measurable improvement in message effectiveness and operational performance. Through testing with the Swedish Armed Forces, we aim to reach TRL 7, ready for NATO deployment. The project will reduce message development from weeks to hours, raise effectiveness by 40–60%, and create dual-use impact for defense and civilian communication resilience.
Planned approach and implementation
We will use an agile development approach combining civilian Agentic AI best practices with military validation. The plan includes five work packages: foundation setup, core platform development, military validation, accelerator participation, and deployment preparation. Testing with the Swedish Armed Forces ensures early feedback, operational readiness, and a validated dual-use system for defense and civilian applications.
