UEF 3.0 · Semantic Government Overlay (SGO) · Autonomous Systems (UAS / dual use)

• Designed: Semantic Government Overlay (SGO) – AI-guided administration without replacing existing specialist procedures. Read-only semantic layer over registers and specialist processes based on the Federal Information Management (FIM). Decision authority remains with the case worker (architecture principle).
• Developed: Reference architecture with source-backed, derived statements (Executable Ontologies OWL/RDF/SHACL). Technically guaranteed purpose limitation and no-write-path principle in specialist data – auditable, without a central data pool.
• Anchored: Regulation as a design principle: EU AI Act (high-risk obligations for public-sector AI, fundamental rights impact assessment under Art. 27), GDPR, NIS2, and administrative automation limits (§ 35a VwVfG, § 31a SGB X) as technical control points in the architecture.
• Created: Methodical tool for pilot organizations: data pipeline assessment (phase 0), compliance blueprint, and management summary as a decision-ready package for public administration.
• Specified: UEF 3.0 as a successor architecture to TOGAF – decision paper, canonical ontology, six-layer architecture, read/actuate boundary, federation registry, terminology concordance, and release delta as a closed specification status.
• Architected: AI-native mission OS for autonomous UAS and ground robotics as a tactical layer on top of a separately approved autopilot. Run-time assurance according to ASTM F3269-21 (Simplex pattern): the verified safety controller keeps authority, the AI function provides suggestions.
• Designed: Three-tier architecture – Tier 0 autopilot with 650 Hz flight control on RTOS, Tier 1 AI OS with semantic world model and multi-agent cluster, Tier 2 swarm and ground mesh. Zenoh as the primary fabric, MAVLink as the only authenticated command path (single writer). Result: graceful degradation – loss of the mission, not of the aircraft.
• Secured: Two-gate chain on the read/actuate boundary – governance gate (can-question: AI Act risk class per actuation, enforced human oversight under Art. 14, immutable log) before the RTA safety monitor (is-it-correct question: flight envelope, geofence, energy reserve) with revert to the baseline controller.
• Anchored: Dual-use architecture with common core and build-time fork instead of runtime switch. Three separate legal levels: civil variant – UAS under the EASA Basic Regulation (EU) 2018/1139 with the limited applicability under Art. 2(2) of the AI Act, ground robotics under the Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 with the full high-risk obligation chain, Cyber Resilience Act for both; unarmed carrier variant as defense material under AWG/AWV and Dual-Use Regulation 2021/821 (BAFA approval); armed variant under KrWaffKontrG. Each variant lives under exactly one dominant legal regime. Evidence base: AI BOM, SBOM, and complete data lineage.
• Analyzed: System analysis and realignment of grown engineering system landscapes. Approach concept for consolidation without migration – semantic layer over the existing sources instead of data transfer. Result: decision-ready implementation concept including an evaluation model for the target architecture.
