Space Force Building Tools to Detect Cyberattacks on Satellites

Redwire, alongside Proof Labs and Big Bear AI, is contributing to the U.S. Space Force’s Cyber Resilience On-Orbit (CROO) tool, an AI-powered tool to detect cyberattacks on satellites by directly monitoring the behavior and telemetry outputs of satellite systems in orbit. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), CROO can spot anomalous behavior on orbit.

Last week, Redwire Engineer Michael Reher participated in a panel on Digital Twins & Synthetic Data: Lowering the Barrier to AI in Space at the ISAC VOSS Summit, where he highlighted the use of Redwire’s’ Digital Engineering tool suite to produce the high-fidelity synthetic satellite telemetry data used to train the AI, which was then compiled by Big Bear for use in developing CROO.

“Knowing how well you can understand the real state of your satellite is very important,” Reher said. “There’s a lot of comparison [possible] … What is your reaction wheel really doing, versus what its sensors are reporting what it’s doing?”
