Protect missile datalinks, weapon release authentication, GPS guidance, fuze initialization, and seeker target verification against quantum computing threats. From ultra-compact PQC-encrypted two-way datalinks to AI-verified target authentication with quantum-safe integrity across the entire kill chain.
ASIC-optimized PQC encryption for missile two-way datalinks, delivering quantum-safe key exchange and authenticated command channels within the extreme SWaP constraints of guided munitions.
ML-DSA authenticated weapon release commands ensuring only authorized launch sequences are executed, with post-quantum digital signatures resistant to forgery by quantum computers.
Quantum random number generation for fuze arming codes, providing true unpredictability that eliminates pattern-based prediction attacks on munition initialization sequences.
Modern missile and guided munition systems rely on encrypted datalinks between launch platforms and in-flight weapons, GPS-based guidance authentication, and cryptographically secured weapon release chains. These systems use RSA and ECC-based encryption that quantum computers will break.
Adversaries can intercept missile datalink communications today for future quantum decryption, enabling them to reverse-engineer guidance protocols and command structures. Weapon system command authentication using classical cryptography is vulnerable to quantum-enabled forgery, potentially allowing unauthorized weapon release or guidance spoofing.
