  • Alignment of naval EO assurance with AMLAS to enable trusted ML-based autonomy.
  • Progressive assurance tightening across autonomy levels, reflecting the shift from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop and beyond.
  • Embedded safety mechanisms: health monitoring, watchdogs, and fault-tolerant operation.
  • Application of STPA and SOTIF, to identify hazards from both system malfunctions as well as deployment in unsuitable operating environments, respectively
