Revolutionizing Systems Engineering with AI for the Defense Community

Written by SPEC Innovations Team | 2/10/25 4:40 PM

In the rapidly evolving landscape of systems engineering and project management, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. The latest collaboration between SPEC Innovations’ Innoslate software and Ask Sage, a secure and extensible Generative AI platform, underscores this as they unveil Innoslate v4.11. This update allows users to integrate Ask Sage’s secure, advanced AI capabilities into the Innoslate platform to power groundbreaking features like Risk AI and Test Case AI.

With Ask Sage’s added security and CUI/sensitive data compliant models, users can rest assured that leveraging their sensitive and IP data on the Innoslate platform won’t result in the data being used to retrain LLMs. These innovations promise to elevate the efficiency and precision of systems engineering workflows in a secure environment. Here’s a deep dive into the transformative capabilities this integration brings.

 

Introducing Risk AI: Identifying and Mitigating Risks Like Never Before

Risk management is at the heart of successful systems engineering. Innoslate v4.11’s Risk AI, powered by Ask Sage, offers an intelligent, structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks in your own environment securely.

Key Features of Risk AI:

  • Context-Sensitive Risk Identification: By analyzing entity names and descriptions, Risk AI pinpoints potential risks tailored to the specific context of the project or system under consideration.
  • Risk Generation and Suggestion: Users can effortlessly generate risks, complete with suggestions for consequences, probabilities, and mitigation strategies. These are designed to align seamlessly with the project’s goals and constraints.
  • Detailed Risk Assessment Output:
    • Risk Labels: Classifies risks into Technical, Schedule, and Cost categories.
    • Consequence and Probability: Assesses the impact of each risk and estimates the likelihood of occurrence.
    • Mitigation Strategies: Provides actionable steps to reduce or eliminate risks, with a minimum of three mitigation strategies per identified risk.

This structured approach empowers users to proactively address risks, ensuring projects stay on track and within budget.

 

Test Case AI: Streamlining Verification and Validation

Testing is integral to systems engineering, ensuring requirements are met, and systems function as intended. The Test Case AI feature in Innoslate v4.11, driven by Ask Sage, simplifies this complex process by automating the creation of test cases based on user inputs while protecting your proprietary information.

Highlights of Test Case AI:

  • Automated Test Case Generation: Users can input a requirement or prompt, and Test Case AI generates well-structured, verifiable test cases.
  • Comprehensive Test Case Details:
    • Unique Identification: Assigns a unique ID and name to each test case for easy reference.
    • Verification Method Classification: Categorizes test cases into methods such as Inspection, Demonstration, Test, Analysis, and Modeling & Simulation.
    • Detailed Descriptions: Outlines setup, execution, and teardown steps for each test case.
    • Expected Results: Provides clear expectations for each test, ensuring alignment with project objectives.
    • Requirement Traceability: Links each test case to specific requirements, enhancing traceability and accountability.

By automating these tasks, Test Case AI significantly reduces the time and effort required to develop test cases, allowing engineers to focus on higher-value activities.

 

The Power of Ask Sage and Innoslate

The integration of Ask Sage into Innoslate exemplifies the potential of combining cutting-edge technology with robust systems engineering tools. Together, they deliver a suite of features that:

  • Ensure your IP and Sensitive data is protected.
