Software Assurance
At the Speed of Development
ThunderBolt delivers real-time airworthiness and cyber compliance guidance to flight software developers—before code is committed.
Compliance Reviews
Can't Keep Up with DevSecOps
Manual Review Bottlenecks
Subject matter experts manually review every code change against MIL-HDBK-516C, DO-178C, and DISA STIGs—creating weeks of delay in the delivery pipeline.
Siloed Expertise
Airworthiness and cyber compliance knowledge lives in the heads of a few specialists. When they leave, institutional knowledge walks out the door.
Late-Stage Findings
Compliance issues discovered during formal review require expensive rework. Fixing defects in certification costs 10-100x more than fixing them at commit.
These constraints force programs to choose between velocity and compliance - slowing delivery timelines, increasing rework costs, and creating certification risk that threatens program schedules.
On-Premise RAG Agent for
Flight Software Compliance
Purpose-built for airworthiness and cyber assurance in classified and air-gapped environments
Real-TIme Code Analysis
ThunderBolt parses each code change as it's written, identifying constructs that trigger airworthiness or cyber compliance requirements before the developer commits.
Precision Retrieval
RAG architecture retrieves the exact paragraph from MIL-HDBK-516C § 7, the specific DO-178C table, or the applicable DISA STIG XCCDF—not generic guidance, but the authoritative source text.
Compliant Fix Recommendations
Powered by a 34–70B parameter frontier LLM, ThunderBolt recommends specific code modifications that satisfy the identified requirement—with traceability to the source standard.
On-Premise Deployment
Runs entirely within your security boundary. No data leaves the enclave. Designed for IL5+ environments where cloud-based AI assistants cannot operate.
IDE Integration
Integrates with VS Code, Eclipse, and CI/CD pipelines. Compliance feedback appears inline as developers write code—shifting left without changing workflows.
Audit Trail Generation
Every recommendation includes full traceability: the triggering code pattern, the retrieved standard paragraph, and the rationale for the suggested fix—ready for DER review.
