"The University of Alabama in Huntsville Demonstrates Cybersecurity Software Aboard a Lockheed Martin Technology Demonstrator CubeSat"
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) recently announced its creation of cybersecurity software for the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC). The software initiated performance testing on one of Lockheed Martin's In-space Upgrade Satellite System (LM LINUSS) technology demonstrator CubeSats. The software, called Small Satellite Defender, is a small satellite-specific Intrusion Detection System (IDS). The Small Satellite Defender functions with relatively low power, monitors satellite-specific threats, and requires little bandwidth. For multiple weeks, the software collects data and periodically transmits the cyber status to the ground station. This article continues to discuss the Small Satellite Defender created by UAH students.
