National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 140-2 validated encryption unit fully compatible with the Common Communications for Visiting Vehicles (C2V2) protocol used on the International Space Station
Our products have decades of cumulative on-orbit performance beyond mission life and have never caused a mission failure. To date, more than 100 AGU units have been delivered or are currently under contract to be delivered.
The encrypt and decrypt interfaces are separate, and packets can be simultaneously passed to the AGU for encryption and decryption. This AGU is fully compatible with the Common Communications for Visiting Vehicles protocol used on the International Space Station, as well as other AES-GCM links. A pair of AGUs can be used to secure a channel.
The AGU is a NIST 140-2 validated encryption unit using an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher operating in Galois Counter Mode (GCM). This stand-alone unit localizes all security requirements for level 2 into one box.
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
