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.
