Cyber-Resilient Space Computers- 2025 Project
The Project
This project aims to take a technology that makes computers resilient to both radiation and cyberattacks and adapt it to Department of Defense (DoD) needs.
The project scope includes customer discovery, building and testing a DoD-specific prototype, and working with MSU spinout Resilient Computing, LLC to establish a commercialization plan for the technology.
