Redwire’s SpaceCREST Cybersecurity Platform to Protect Next-Generation Space Communications Hardware for DARPA Program
December 06 2022 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that its suite of space cybersecurity tools developed with
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI), an AI-powered analytics and cyber
engineering solutions company, will be used by Mynaric (NASDAQ:
MYNA) (FRA: M0YN) in the development of an advanced satellite
communication program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). Mynaric, a company specializing in
advanced laser communications terminals for space, airborne and
mobile applications, will use Redwire and BigBear.ai’s Space Cyber
Resiliency through Evaluation and Security Testing (SpaceCREST)
platform to support the cybersecurity evaluation of their optical
communications terminal.
“Redwire is proud to support Mynaric in identifying and
mitigating potential vulnerabilities within crucial national
security programs,” said Dean Bellamy, Redwire’s Executive Vice
President of National Security Space. “This application of
SpaceCREST demonstrates the value that Redwire and BigBear.ai's
collaboration holds for the growing space economy. SpaceCREST will
be a critical tool for proactive maintenance and protection of
government and commercial customers building the next generation of
resilient space architectures.”
Mynaric will use the SpaceCREST platform to ensure the security
of its optical communications terminal design for Phase 1 of
DARPA’s Space Based Adaptive Communications Node (Space-BACN)
program. The program seeks to develop reconfigurable,
multi-protocol communications terminals that are small,
lightweight, low-power, inexpensive, and able to connect many
different satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit. SpaceCREST
will be used to identify vulnerabilities that could affect the
terminal or disrupt its operation and then find ways to protect
against those vulnerabilities.
“As the world has increased its reliance on space assets in both
government and commercial operations - ranging from
mission-critical national security operations to GPS navigation -
the ability to accurately detect and address system vulnerabilities
is essential to the everyday lives of billions of people,” said
Eric Conway, BigBear.ai’s Senior Vice President of Technology,
Federal Solutions. “BigBear.ai is excited to partner with Redwire
to deliver SpaceCREST to Mynaric in support of DARPA’s efforts to
ensure the next generation of satellite communications are
resilient to cyberattacks.”
SpaceCREST utilizes Redwire's extensive digital engineering
capabilities to make cybersecurity analysis of space assets more
streamlined and reliable. With Redwire's Advanced Configurable
Open-system Research Network (ACORN) tools and technologies,
SpaceCREST enables users to simulate and emulate various hardware
and software systems as they are being designed and built. Using
SpaceCREST, Mynaric will be able to ensure that its communications
terminals are both secure and resilient.
Future uses of Redwire's digital engineering capabilities will
add to the Company's record of innovation and build on its heritage
as a leader in the next-generation space infrastructure.
