ATLAS Space Operations Demonstrates Transformative Capabilities for Air Force Research Lab through the Defense Innovation Unit's Hybrid Space Architecture for Department of Defense
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ATLAS Space Operations, including its wholly owned subsidiary Freedom Space Technologies, announced today the successful completion of a series of demonstrations showcasing its Freedom ® Software Platform's ability to integrate diverse government and commercial satellite ground station networks for the U.S. Air Force Research Lab and Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). These demonstrations validated a transformative approach to satellite ground operations, providing secure, scalable, and resilient space data transmission. "By unifying disparate ground networks through a secure, cloud-native interface, we've demonstrated how Freedom transforms satellite operations into a scalable, software-defined service," said Brad Bode, CTO & Co-Founder, ATLAS Space Operations. Through the DIU Hybrid Space Architecture project, ATLAS demonstrated the Freedom platform's capability to manage and orchestrate multiple disparate networks, ensuring timely data transmission while maintaining information assurance and security. The software's architecture, built on best-in-class commercial practices, features software-defined controls, interfaces, and security, ensuring flexibility and trust amidst rapid technological changes. Key objectives achieved during the project include integrating commercial networks, such as the ATLAS global network and Viasat's Real-Time Earth, onboarding DoD assets, and enabling rapid access for federal users, including the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC). The Freedom UI provided an intuitive, web-based interface for operators to manage satellite contacts across these diverse networks, while advanced cyber controls, aligned with DFARS/NIST 800-171 standards, secured data and communications. "By unifying disparate ground networks through a secure, cloud-native interface, we've demonstrated how Freedom transforms satellite operations into a scalable, software-defined service," said Brad Bode, CTO & Co-Founder, ATLAS Space Operations. "This architecture not only ensures rapid onboarding and cross-network orchestration but also delivers resilient, mission-ready connectivity aligned with the DoD's need for agile and secure space access." Key outcomes of the demonstrations include: Operational Interoperability: Seamless integration across DoD and commercial ground station assets, including secure tasking and telemetry. Cybersecurity Maturity: Meeting DFARS/NIST 800-171 compliance and demonstrating readiness for FedRAMP and ITAR requirements. ATLAS and Freedom Space Technologies also completed a NIST 800-53 Rev. 5 Moderate baseline security assessment. Federated User Access: Successful onboarding of the U.S. Army SMDC, proving the platform's ability to support diverse agencies securely. Dynamic Scheduling and Network Abstraction: Enabling task execution across multi-vendor networks through a seamless user experience. Scalability and Modularity: Demonstrating the platform's ability to scale by adding antennas, users, and partners without system re-architecture. Enhanced User Experience: Providing an intuitive interface for scheduling, monitoring, and data retrieval. Readiness for Future Capabilities: Collecting rich data to enable predictive analytics, automated mission validation, and machine learning-driven autonomous operations.

Cuick Trac's Managed Enclave Achieves FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency Attestation as Cloud Service Offering
Beryllium InfoSec, a leading cybersecurity provider for the DoD, GovCon, and Critical Infrastructure sectors, announces that the Cuick Trac Secure Enclave has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency (FRME) attestation. This milestone follows a thorough assessment by a FedRAMP-recognized Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO). The Cuick Trac Managed Enclave helps organizations comply with FAR, DFARS, and CMMC requirements for safeguarding nonpublic federal information, including controlled unclassified information (CUI). This milestone underscores Beryllium InfoSec's commitment to delivering secure and compliant solutions that align with the stringent cybersecurity standards of the United States Federal Government and the Department of Defense. The assessment was performed in alignment with the DoD's FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency Memorandum, issued in December 2023. This memo provides guidance for ensuring that cloud service offerings (CSOs) achieve 100 percent compliance with the FedRAMP Moderate security control baseline in order to support the DoD's mission-critical to secure Covered Defense Information (CDI) and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). By achieving FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, the Cuick Trac Secure Enclave has demonstrated its ability to provide robust protection for sensitive data within a secure and fully managed cloud environment. 'We are thrilled to achieve FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency, a key commitment of trust, confidence, security, and compliance for our customers in the federal and defense contractor space,' said Lincoln Neely, Beryllium InfoSec's Chief Executive Officer. 'This accomplishment further demonstrates our dedication to supporting the DoD's digital transformation with secure, scalable, and innovative solutions, specifically for the small to medium size contractors.' Key highlights of Beryllium InfoSec's Cuick Trac achievement include: Enhanced Security Posture: Meeting the FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency requirements ensures that the Cuick Trac Secure Enclave met 325 rigorous controls that make up the FedRAMP Moderate Security Control Baseline, addressing critical areas such as data encryption, continuous monitoring, and incident response. Support for DoD and Federal Government Contractors: The achievement validates that the platform is equipped to handle Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) in accordance with DoD requirements, specifically DFARS 252.204-7012 and NIST SP 800-171, enabling seamless and secure operations. Commitment to Excellence: The assessment process demonstrates Cuick Trac's proactive approach to maintaining the highest standards in cloud security and compliance. 'Achieving this 3rd party attestation positions us and our Cuick Trac solution as a trusted partner and solution for organizations seeking assessment (OSA) and organizations seeking certification (OSC) for CMMC Level 2 while continuing to leverage a purpose-built, quick to deploy, low cost and fully managed virtual CUI environment, without compromising security or compliance,' said Jeff Baldwin, Beryllium InfoSec's Chief Information Security Officer.
