The Department of Defense (DOD) is seeking proposals for the topic "Tactical Implementation of Quantum Hardening" as part of its SBIR program. The objective is to develop a tactical implementation of quantum hardening for Army systems on a tactical network to identify vulnerabilities, remove or remediate them, and maintain security against quantum cyber threats. The Army is interested in software that can future-proof Army networks related to quantum computing vulnerabilities. The ideal solution is a holistic suite of quantum-resistant security applications that can assess cryptographic security, implement quantum-resistant algorithms, and provide a crypto-agile framework to protect sensitive data. The project will involve analyzing Army networks, prioritizing critical networks, and transitioning to a quantum-safe architecture. The performer will prototype a software suite at technology readiness level 6, demonstrated in relevant environments. The project will have a Phase I and Phase II, with Phase II delivering a prototype for further Army evaluation. The performer will have access to a lab with tactical network capabilities and associated devices for iteration. The project will also include demonstrations at NetModX events in 2024 and 2025. Awardees may be eligible for a Phase IIb award after completing Phase II. Phase III will focus on commercialization objectives. The project is open for proposals until March 31, 2025.
