What we do
AI test and evaluationTest harnesses and evaluation infrastructure that show how a model performs against mission criteria, where it fails, and whether it’s ready to field. All back by rigorous statistical evaluation.
AI at the edgeAI engineering for low size, weight, power, and cost platforms, where compute is scare and the link back to the cloud may be contested or unavailable..
Trusted modelsMaximum performance from U.S.-developed open-weight language models, so programs can use LLMs with known provenance without giving up capability.
Past Performance
Personae-Driven A.I.
Department of War, OSD, SBIR Phase I
Topic: OSD254-P001
Period of Performance: Aug 2025 - Feb 2026
Developed a configurable persona layer with variable personality traits aligned to mission tasks to increase performance and reduce hallucination of US-developed open-source LLMs.
Built from inside defense. Moving at the speed of AI.
Technology now is advancing faster than traditional acquisition can pace alongside. Cavalry Heavy Industries was founded by engineers who have worked inside the defense industry primes, the financial giants, and the frontier of commercial cloud software. We combine that mission passion, rigor for quality, and drive for innovation while staying small by design. We move from problem statement to working capability at the speed that today’s mission requires.
