LLM Orchestration Layer

Definition

LLM Orchestration Layer is middleware that routes models, prompts, tools, memory, retrieval, policy, and telemetry across AI workflows. In defense applications, it keeps multi-model systems governable as mission apps invoke different models and tools. The hard part is context leakage, inconsistent policy enforcement, and brittle chains of prompt logic, especially when systems are deployed across contested links, coalition boundaries, and mixed human-machine teams. KhanBMS treats it as the control plane that lets KhanBMS substitute models without rewriting mission software, tying the concept back to modular command, edge execution, and auditable authority.
