Quantum Solutions for Proactive Advanced Response in Cyber Warfare - QSPARX

Description

The primary objective of this Phase I SBIR effort is to develop and validate an AI-driven cybersecurity platform tailored to the Air Force District of Washington's (AFDW) urgent needs for post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) readiness. The proposed solution aims to enhance threat detection, cryptographic resilience, and mission assurance across high-value networks and communications managed by the 844th Communications Group (CG) at Joint Base Andrews and the National Capital Region. This project focuses on transitioning existing cryptographic assets to quantum-resilient standards to address quantum-enabled threats while minimizing disruptions to legacy infrastructure. Expected outcomes include the creation of a prototype that demonstrates automated threat detection, risk scoring, and compliance monitoring within Air Force environments, leveraging AI and machine learning technologies to ensure robust cyber defense mechanisms post-quantum era.
