Cyber risk reduction in complex systems
April 29, 2026
Astrion supports cyber test and evaluation efforts across advanced fifth-generation aircraft, next-generation bomber platforms, and distributed cross-domain command-and-control (C2) architectures operating under contested spectrum conditions. These systems function as highly networked computing environments, where avionics, communications, software, and radio-frequency (RF) systems interact continuously. As Department of War (DOW) systems grow more connected, cyber cannot be added at the end. In architectures of this scale, it must be engineered in from the beginning.

How Astrion enables agile embedded support in high-threat environments In high-threat environments, the margin for error is razor-thin. That’s why the Army is rethinking sustainment, not as a support function, but as a strategic capability that fuses logistics, software, and field-level integration. This evolution is reshaping how we keep systems mission-ready under pressure. Today, sustainment…

November 18, 2025
Boosting readiness with a unifying sustainment framework Army Aviation’s workhorses – the Chinook, Black Hawk, and Apache helicopters – are also its oldest. Many of their original core components date back decades, built by small suppliers that no longer exist or that have shifted focus to more profitable commercial markets. As these aircraft age, the…
