Quantum-Safe Communications & Networking

Protect tactical radios, satellite links, data networks, and mesh communications against quantum computing threats. From PQC-SDR baseband processing to AI-powered network anomaly detection with quantum-safe integrity across every military communications layer.

PQC-SDR Baseband

ML-KEM/ML-DSA accelerator integrated directly into SDR waveform processing pipelines, enabling quantum-safe key exchange at the physical layer for all tactical radio communications.

Quantum-Safe Tactical Links

Post-quantum key exchange and authentication for Link-16, SATCOM, and MANET tactical data links, ensuring resilient battlefield connectivity against future quantum decryption.

AI Network Guardian

ML-powered detection of quantum-era network attacks including harvest-now-decrypt-later, with automated PQC channel rekeying and adaptive threat response across military networks.

Why military communications are vulnerable

All current military encryption standards — RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange — will be broken by cryptographically relevant quantum computers. Every tactical radio, satellite link, and data network in today's military relies on these algorithms for confidentiality and authentication.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks are already capturing encrypted military communications for future quantum decryption. Tactical radio intercepts stored today will be readable once quantum computers mature. SATCOM links, which carry the most sensitive command and control traffic, face complete compromise.

  • All tactical radio encryption (RSA, ECC, DH) broken by quantum computers
  • Tactical radio interception enables harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks on voice and data
  • SATCOM links carrying C2 traffic face complete quantum compromise
  • Link-16 and tactical data links use quantum-vulnerable key management
  • MANET mesh networks rely on classical group key protocols susceptible to quantum attack
  • Military Ethernet backbone encryption vulnerable to quantum-capable adversaries
