PQ-C2A: Post-Quantum Command & Control for automation
URSA Operations secure middleware for cyber, physical systems, and autonomy.
The Post-Quantum Command & Control Architecture (PQC2A) is a secure middleware gateway designed to connect existing sensors, controllers, and mission applications without requiring a complete replacement of installed equipment. It creates a controlled, auditable exchange for operational data and authorized commands across defined trust boundaries.
Built around zero-trust principles and post-quantum cryptography, PQC2A verifies identities, protects data in transit, and applies policy controls before information or commands move between systems. The initial product focuses on secure bidirectional exchange, while edge intelligence, resilient communications, and multi-system orchestration remain planned expansion paths.
Key Technical Capabilities & Field Metrics
Post-Quantum Protected Exchange: Supports NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, including ML-KEM for key establishment and ML-DSA for digital signatures. Final cryptographic profiles and validated modules are selected for each deployment.
- Controlled Bidirectional Architecture: Separates telemetry and authorized command paths through purpose-built gateways and defined trust boundaries.
- Zero-Trust Access Control: Verifies device, application, and operator identity before permitting information or commands to cross the protected exchange.
- Legacy-System Integration: Uses configurable adapters and standardized data models to connect existing cameras, sensors, controllers, and mission applications without a wholesale rip-and-replace.
- Deterministic Command Safeguards: Evaluates requested actions against defined permissions, operating limits, and approval requirements before dispatch. Real-time safety functions remain with the local device controller.
- Auditable Operation: Records data exchanges, authorization decisions, command requests, and system responses to support testing, troubleshooting, and customer acceptance.
- Expansion-Ready Foundation: Reusable device profiles and containerized deployment support future edge analytics, additional systems, degraded-connectivity options, and qualified orchestration workflows.
KINETIC ENGAGEMENT & MULTI-TRIGGER SENSOR SYsTEM (KE-MTS)
The Kinetic Engagement & Multi-Trigger Sensor System (KE-MTS) architecture delivers microsecond-level target acquisition and autonomous edge triggering across contested operational environments. Built to bridge the gap between real-time data ingestion and kinetic execution, KE-MTS integrates multi-sensor telemetry to ensure instantaneous threat verification and decisive response capability without relying on high-latency command links.
Key Technical Capabilities & Field Metrics
- Microsecond Sensor Fusion: Synthesizes radar, optical, and acoustic telemetry at the tactical edge to achieve zero-latency target verification.
- Autonomous Edge Triggering: Executes conditional kinetic protocol triggers independently during local operational blackout or electronic jamming.
- Multi-Domain Adaptability: Standardized hardware payload seamlessly deploys across maritime surface vessels, tactical ground vehicles, and fixed-site defense perimeter nodes.
