Quantum-Safe Radar Systems

Protect radar data links, IFF authentication, waveform generation, and C2 connectivity against quantum computing threats. From PQC-secured radar-to-command center links to AI-augmented radar threat classification with quantum-safe integrity.

Radar Data Link Protection

ML-KEM + ML-DSA hybrid encryption for radar-to-C2 data links ensures that intercepted radar data remains secure against future quantum decryption.

Quantum-Safe IFF

Post-quantum authentication for IFF transponders prevents quantum-enabled friend-or-foe spoofing in contested electromagnetic environments.

AI-Augmented Security

ML-based detection of quantum-spoofed radar returns combined with PQC-secured classification pipelines for trusted radar intelligence.

Why radar systems are vulnerable

Modern radar systems rely on encrypted data links between radar arrays, processing centers, and command nodes. These links use RSA and ECC-based key exchange that will be broken by quantum computers.

Harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks can capture radar intelligence today for future quantum decryption. IFF systems using classical crypto are vulnerable to spoofing. Radar scheduling and C2 authentication chains are at risk.

  • Radar-to-C2 data links use quantum-vulnerable RSA/ECC encryption
  • IFF authentication relies on classical crypto susceptible to quantum attack
  • Radar intelligence data subject to harvest-now-decrypt-later
  • Waveform scheduling and LPI parameters can be predicted if crypto is broken
  • Multi-sensor data fusion links are quantum-vulnerable
