I. National Interests

​Sentinels recognizes that the nation's primary interest is the preservation of its borders and people. By managing the ground, air, and water assets, it ensures that no threat can reach the nation. The objective of doctrine is to preserve sovereignty, protect assets, ensure operational continuity and maintain a disciplined, ethical and intelligent defense posture, thereby strengthening the long-term stability, legitimacy and resilience.​

​

II. Safeguarding Principles

• Preservation of Sovereignty & Territorial Integrity
  Ensuring the uninterrupted security and stability of Adhisha’s governed ecosystem.

• Continuity of Essential Systems & Infrastructure
  Protecting critical structures, intelligence cores, operational continuity and civil resilience.

• Deterrence & Stability Assurance
  Maintaining a credible, responsible and disciplined defensive posture that prevents escalatory threats.

• Protection of Life, Environment & Shared Assets
  Ensuring that all defensive decisions are grounded in the preservation of human and environmental wellbeing.

• Ethical & Law-Abiding Autonomous Governance
  Ensuring all command intelligence actions remain bound by oversight, accountability and established governance principles.

III. Foundational Guidelines

• Central Intelligence — Distributed Autonomy
  Sentinels acts as the sovereign command brain, while the ground, air and water domains retain the right to operate autonomously within defined rules, coordinating seamlessly under unified command when necessary.

• Proportionality & Restraint
  Defensive actions are guided by necessity, proportionality and responsibility — prioritizing de-escalation wherever possible.

• Governance & Human Oversight
  All autonomous intelligence remains accountable to Adhisha’s governance structure, with safeguarded oversight and auditability.

• Security by Design
  Integrity, redundancy, resilience and continuity are the cornerstones of system design and defense readiness.

• Transparency of Purpose
  While capabilities remain confidential, intent and doctrine remain clear — Sentinels exists to secure, stabilize and preserve.

IV. Centralized Command Cognitive
Strategic command, situational awareness, and threat adjudication for all autonomous defense assets are vested in a centralized, sovereign artificial command nexus. This system serves as the Nation’s strategic brain for defense, synthesizing data into unified intent and maintaining continuous battle-space consciousness. Human oversight is retained at the strategic and policy level.

V. Scalable Deterrence
Sentinels ensures a posture of Scalable Deterrence. The visible readiness and proven capability of the autonomous network deter aggression at the tactical and operational level. Its capacity for rapid, synchronized, overwhelming response across all domains serves as the ultimate strategic deterrent against existential threats. The system’s purpose is to assure security by making conflict untenable for any adversary.

VI. Application of Force
The application of force by autonomous units is strictly bound by a graduated protocol, aligned with international law and national rules of engagement.
 

VII. National Command Authority
All autonomous capabilities remain subordinate to the nation’s constitutional governance and civil authority. The system is a tool of state policy. Activation for strategic deterrence or escalated response requires explicit authorization, ensuring human judgment governs the most consequential decisions.

VIII. Restorative Action
Strategic restoration fulfills a nation's directive to establish the foundation of global deterrence; it not only offers expertise in cognitive governance but also secures the ecosystem’s stability through the absolute assurance of definitive, continent-scale restoration. The policy states that the removal of a threat is an act of returning the world to a state of stability.
