BigBear.ai, Proof Labs team on CROO solution for DAF, no terms

BigBear.ai (BBAI) announced a collaboration with Proof Labs to deliver an advanced cyber resiliency solution for the Department of the Air Force or DAF . Proof Labs Inc, as the prime contractor, was awarded the AFWERX Small Business Innovation Research or SBIR Direct-to-Phase II contract to develop the Cyber Resilient On-Orbit CROO solution, with BigBear.ai supporting as a sub-contractor. The CROO solution will incorporate BigBear.ai’s SpaceCREST technology, a comprehensive digital twin capability that serves as a real-time monitor and alerting system of a satellite network’s cyber infrastructure. This project aims to enhance the security of the U.S. Air Force USAF and the U.S. Space Force USSF on-orbit assets through Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning or AI/ML cyber intrusion detection. BigBear.ai will train the CROO’s AI/ML against a wide range of simulated cyberattacks, covering well-established tactics and procedures. The CROO solution will analyze, evaluate, and classify the behavior of USSF satellite systems in normal operation, versus while under the influence of simulated cyberattacks.
