Hi Doz,
your AI Overview claims that ForwardEdge ASIC were a division of Forward Edge-AI, Inc., which appears to be yet another AI-generated hallucination:

Strategic Cybersecurity Challenges in Space Networks
Current space communications rely on legacy encryption systems that are vulnerable to:
- Quantum computing advancements that render traditional encryption obsolete.
- State-sponsored cyber warfare, particularly from China and Russia, targeting satellite networks.
- Inefficient cryptographic infrastructure, with many NSA-approved COMSEC devices nearing expiration.
- High costs of current space encryptors, ranging from $40,000 to $2 million per unit.
To address these vulnerabilities, Forward Edge-AI is developing a quantum-resistant, AI-driven SD-R, integrating:
- Isidore Quantum™ Encryption
- HyperX Neuromorphic Processing
- Juniper Networks Virtual Firewall Technologies
- Microsoft Azure Orbital Integration for Hybrid Space Networks
Core Capabilities of the High-Throughput SD-R
This SD-R will provide a secure, quantum-resistant communications backbone for PWSA, supporting:
- Dynamic Security Associations (DSAs) for autonomous network topology adaptation.
- Hybrid Routing Architecture, integrating Isidore’s NSA-validated MACSec encryption with Juniper’s vSRX Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN).
- Self-Healing, AI-Driven Cyber Defense, using a neuromorphic processor to automate threat detection and mitigation.
- Ultra-Low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost), reducing power consumption from 70W to 5W.
- Point-to-Multipoint and Mesh Topology Encryption, enabling secure interconnectivity across commercial and defense space assets.

Alignment with President Trump’s Executive Orders on Cybersecurity
This initiative aligns with President Trump's cybersecurity directives, focusing on:
- National Defense Strategy Compliance: Strengthening the DoD’s cyber defenses against quantum and AI-driven cyber threats.
- Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborating with Microsoft Azure, Juniper Networks, and Coherent Logix to deliver enterprise-ready hybrid space security.
- Cost-Efficient, Rapid Deployment: Integrating Isidore Quantum™ SD-R as-a-Service into Azure Marketplace, allowing military and commercial entities to deploy space encryption instantly.
The Direct to Phase II SBIR SD-R project is a critical step in ensuring secure, high-speed, quantum-resistant communications for U.S. space and defense networks. By leveraging advanced AI-driven encryption, low-power neuromorphic processors, and software-defined routing, this initiative delivers a cost-effective, scalable, and cyber-resilient solution for PWSA and beyond.
This SD-R program reinforces U.S. leadership in space security, aligning with President Trump’s vision for strengthening national defense through advanced cybersecurity solutions. Upon completion, the Isidore Quantum™ SD-R will be ready for NSA certification, military deployment, and full-scale commercial adoption.
