Secure Path to the Stars: Strengthening Cybersecurity in Hybrid Space Networks

Tender details

The Canadian Department of National Defence seeks innovative R&D solutions to enhance cybersecurity in Hybrid Space Networks (HSNs). Bidders are invited to develop a laboratory-based "flatsat" platform that integrates multiple payloads (e.g., communications, navigation) to ensure secure operations in contested environments. Solutions should demonstrate robust cybersecurity mechanisms and support diverse payload integration. Funding ranges from $100,000 to $5 million, depending on technology readiness levels. This initiative is crucial for advancing secure, resilient defense operations reliant on real-time data from space.
