On August 19, Q-Net Security announced that it has been awarded a contract by the United States Air Force to help develop technologies and requirements aimed at securing communications at the tactical edge — where reliability, speed, and resilience are mission-critical.
Q-Net’s work under this contract will focus on deploying technologies developed in a SBIR Phase II to refine tactical edge communication capabilities for airborne wide-area networks, wide-band air-to-air links, and mobile ad hoc networks. Deliverables under this contract will enable Tactical Key Management encryption abilities to test real-time trusted communications to the tactical edge in support of our Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operations.
“This contract reflects the Air Force’s commitment to supporting the American warfighters with next-generation secure communications solutions,” said John Pyrovolakis, CEO of Q-Net Security. “As threats that disrupt military operations rise — fueled by advances in quantum computing and artificial intelligence — securing military communications has never been more important. We believe our unique, silicon-based approach provides the strength and simplicity our warfighters need — and we’re dedicated to getting this resilient solution to them.”
