Washington, D.C., December 17, 2024 – BigBear.ai and Proof Labs develop an AI-powered cyber defense system to protect U.S. Air Force satellites from cyber threats, ensuring real-time resiliency.
In a groundbreaking move to defend critical space infrastructure, BigBear.ai and Proof Labs have joined forces to deliver an AI-powered cybersecurity solution for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.
This next-generation defense system aims to shield vital on-orbit satellites from rising cyber threats. The collaboration focuses on the Cyber Resilient On-Orbit (CROO) project, part of the AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract.
Powered by BigBear.ai’s SpaceCREST technology, the solution will act as a real-time monitor and anomaly detection tool, protecting satellite networks from cyber intrusions. Ricardo Aguilar, CEO of Proof Labs said:
AI-driven analytics will change how we secure our space assets. This project ensures the Air Force can detect and respond to cyber threats in real time.
The CROO solution uses advanced AI and Machine Learning (ML) to simulate a variety of cyberattacks, identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
It trains algorithms to detect anomalies, classify malicious activities, and alert operators immediately—ensuring enhanced cyber resiliency for U.S. satellite operations. Robert Wedertz, Senior Vice President at BigBear.ai noted:
This collaboration marks a leap in safeguarding America’s critical space infrastructure. With AI-powered monitoring, we’re ensuring unmatched protection for national defense assets.
As space systems increasingly face cyber risks, the U.S. Air Force’s adoption of AI-driven defenses sets a new benchmark for global satellite security.
