QuSecure awarded U.S. Air Force contract

QuSecure, a start-up based in San Mateo, California, has been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by AFWERX to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). 

QuSecure's QuProtect software will be used by DAF to protect encrypted communications and data with quantum-resilience via quantum secure channels.

This contract is part of efforts to streamline the SBIR process, making it more accessible to small businesses, and follows previous SBIR contract wins by QuSecure from the U.S. Army in 2023 (Phase II SBIR) and the U.S. Government in 2022 (Phase III SBIR).

“Following winning our previous two SBIR awards, QuSecure is proud to be a part of the Department of the Air Force’s efforts toward a more cybersecure future,” said Garrison Buss, QuSecure Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer. “This award from the Air Force recognizes QuSecure’s ability to help enhance the combat fighting capabilities necessitated by modern warfare.”
