Romeo Kilo Defense Systems (RKDS) is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) dedicated to solving the structural breakdowns that stall mission execution. We believe automation without governance is a liability. Our systems are engineered to formalize how work is requested, reviewed, and monitored—ensuring policy is enforced by design and human authority is preserved at every stage.
