Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) has published “Human Capabilities,” the fifth field brief in its Autonomous Security Force (ASF) series, as the force makes its live debut at GSX 2026, the Global Security Exchange. The event is taking place Sept. 14-16 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
The brief outlines the human layer of Knightscope’s ASF-7 model, which includes licensed security agents and the company’s internal Mission Operations team. The team is responsible for intelligence, client support, technical reliability, and field service.
According to the company, the model consolidates human security roles within one organization instead of distributing responsibility among third-party staffing, monitoring, and maintenance providers. The integrated structure is designed to create a single accountable operation under one contract by combining autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and human judgment.
Personnel support functions including alert verification, executive protection, armed and unarmed security, de-escalation, response, and equipment maintenance. Knightscope also highlighted its workforce policies, stating that agents receive equity, full health benefits, and paid training beginning on their first day.
Knightscope currently serves 434 clients across 42 states, while its machines have logged more than 4.4 million autonomous hours in the field. The company said this operating scale reflects the adoption of autonomous security solutions and underscores the need for human infrastructure to support them.
The live debut of the Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026 presents Knightscope’s unified approach to integrating machines, software, and human agents. The company said the model addresses the fragmentation of responsibility among multiple vendors in the security industry by bringing those functions together in a single operation. It said the structure could streamline client operations and potentially improve response times and accountability.
Knightscope’s long-term mission is to make the United States the safest country in the world. The publication of the fifth field brief and the ASF’s GSX 2026 debut are part of the company’s efforts to explain its model and present its integrated security offering.
