Project Ixian was developed in collaboration with one of the world's leading technology giants and Defence Holdings' engineers. The integration of AI-native cloud infrastructure and hyperscale capabilities from the outset positions the tool to provide sovereign-grade resilience. The project involved workshops with frontline UK military personnel, ensuring the tool is tailored to real-world needs.
The tool's commercial phase is set to begin in December, with the company aiming to prove its scalability and revenue generation capabilities to justify the recent share price rally. While the potential revenue generation remains unspecified, the tool aligns with the government's initiatives to enhance sovereign digital resilience, potentially benefiting from increased government spending.
The urgency of Project Ixian is underscored by recent operations, such as Russia's Operation Doppelgänger, which has impersonated European media outlets to spread disinformation. Additionally, Telegram networks have recruited individuals for sabotage operations, including arson attacks on British and European infrastructure. These hybrid tactics highlight the need for robust information operation capabilities, which Project Ixian aims to address.
Andy McCartney, Chief Technology Officer at Defence Holdings, stated, "Information is infrastructure, and it is under attack right now. Project Ixian shows how Defence Technologies is moving from strategy to live delivery, embedding sovereign capability in one of the most contested domains of modern defence."
Defence Holdings shares were up 2% at the time of writing, reflecting investor confidence in the company's new venture.

Defence Holdings has launched Project Ixian, its first sovereign artificial intelligence product designed to counter information operations. The company, which recently announced a tie-up with AI hyperscalers and the Ministry of Defence (MoD), has revealed its initial AI product targeting information warfare. This development follows the UK Strategic Defence Review 2025, which identified urgent needs for sovereign capabilities to address threats such as disinformation campaigns, cyber attacks, and narrative manipulation.Project Ixian was developed in collaboration with one of the world's leading technology giants and Defence Holdings' engineers.
