About RKDS

Secure. Loyal. Sustainable. — Defense-grade automation built by operators for operators.

Mission

RKDS modernizes support agreements and operations with practical automation that respects compliance, security, and sustainment realities. We translate policy (e.g., DoDI 4000.19 / DAFPD 25-2) into working software leaders can act on.

  • Policy-to-Practice: guardrails built-in, not bolted-on
  • Operator-first: speed under pressure and clear controls
  • Transparent delivery: ship small, iterate fast, measure results

How We Operate

We use AI-Human teaming with clear lanes (XO, Echo, Cipher, Klaus) to maintain speed, security, and auditability.

  • XO (Ops): tasking, routing, dashboards
  • Echo (Comms): briefs, notifications, narrative QA
  • Cipher (Tech/Sec): triggers, permissions, audits
  • Klaus (Compliance): artifacts, retention, sustainment
