Strengthen NIST SP 800-171 Supply Chain Assurance for Defense Electronics
Supplier certifications, approved bills of material, and functional tests provide important assurance—but they don’t always reveal undocumented changes inside the electronics you receive.
Palitronica’s Anvil Electronics Assurance Platform adds independent hardware and firmware verification, helping defense manufacturers identify unexpected differences and generate objective evidence to support NIST SP 800-171 requirements.
Verify the electronics behind the mission
Defense electronics move through complex supply chains and remain in service through years of component substitutions, supplier changes, repairs, and revisions. Each transition creates an opportunity for the delivered product to differ from the approved configuration.
Anvil Checkpoint uses physics-based RF measurements and AI to compare hardware against a known-good profile without requiring schematics or firmware access. Anvil Inspector combines AI-powered fuzzing with power side-channel analysis to investigate firmware behaviour and identify activity beyond expected functions.
Support assurance throughout the lifecycle
The information sheet explains how independent electronics verification can help organizations:
Strengthen supply chain risk management with verification checkpoints during acquisition and manufacturing.
Add hardware and firmware evidence to risk assessments.
Identify undocumented configuration changes, design drift, and production-lot differences.
Assess the integrity of COTS electronics where design visibility is limited.
Compare new suppliers’ products with approved devices before integration or final acceptance.
