NIRA Publishes Paper at ICNS 2026 on NAS Data Supply Chain Visibility

NIRA published research at the ICNS Conference 2026 exploring why the National Airspace System is becoming an ecosystem — not just a collection of systems. The paper argues that future NAS modernization will require end-to-end data supply chain visibility: understanding where data originated, how it was transformed, what dependencies it carries, and how it behaves under degradation. This work was inspired by NIRA's ongoing collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration and reflects our core focus on advancing data-centric information exchange in an increasingly distributed NAS.

NIRA to advance process automation and workflow modernization for Federal Maritime Commission

NIRA has been awarded a new contract with the Federal Maritime Commission to advance process automation and workflow modernization in support of the U.S. maritime supply chain. Under this effort, we'll partner with FMC to move high-volume, manual compliance activities — such as carrier registrations and service contract filings — onto a modern, automated platform. By applying secure, AI-enabled workflow automation, we aim to: reduce administrative burden on staff and industry, improve data quality, transparency, and auditability, and enable FMC to focus on oversight of ocean shipping and trade. This award reflects the strength of our team and NIRA's track record helping federal agencies modernize mission-critical systems while maintaining security, integrity, and trust.

REDI: Secure Data Exchange that Works When Networks Don't

Developed under a NAVWAR SBIR, REDI extends the OpenTDF Zero Trust model to DDIL environments — embedding verifiable credentials and policy directly into protected objects so access decisions, key releases, and audit logging work fully offline, with seamless enterprise reintegration when links return.
