On October 15, Austin, TX-based Ultra Intelligence & Communications (Ultra I&C) announced it has achieved National Security Agency (NSA) high assurance certification of the Reprogrammable Single Chip Universal Encryptor (RESCUE). The RESCUE architecture is provided through the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) C5ISR Center. NSA certification confirms RESCUE’s capability to secure classified information.
As the lead security engineering team, Ultra I&C continues to embed RESCUE across multiple Department of Defense (DOD) platforms, demonstrating its flexible and scalable design. The architecture provides essential cryptographic services for devices requiring secure communications, including handheld radios, unmanned sensors and key management devices. RESCUE’s architecture ensures easy adaptation across diverse platforms, meeting the evolving security needs of modern defense systems.
“Achieving NSA High Assurance Certification marks a significant milestone for Ultra I&C and the RESCUE architecture,” said Bradford Powell, president of command, control, intelligence, and encryption (C2I&E) for Ultra I&C. “As a secure, government-owned solution, RESCUE protects critical information at the highest levels. Its flexible, scalable architecture and certification position allows Ultra I&C to integrate high-assurance cryptographic solutions more efficiently and cost-effectively across a range of military applications.”
