The future battlespace demands secure, resilient communications across air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace. Traditional AES-based defenses are no longer enough—quantum computing, AI-driven exploits, and side-channel attacks are dismantling old assumptions. That’s where Isidore Quantum® comes in.

A New Standard in Tactical Encryption

Isidore Quantum is a plug-and-play, post-quantum encryption module designed for the warfighter, first responder, and mission-critical operator. Roughly the size of a credit card, it slides between your ATAK device, 5G tactical mesh, or MPU5 radio, instantly securing traffic without protocol disruption, software reconfiguration, or added latency.

  • Drop-In Ready: Works seamlessly with ATAK, MPU5, tactical radios, SATCOM, and 5G edge networks.

  • Quantum-Resistant: Built to NSA CNSA 2.0 standards, FIPS 140-3 certified, and tested by the Army, Air Force, Navy, Space Force, Cubic/DTECH, Microsoft, and Lumen.

  • Invisible in the Spectrum: Spectrum analysis confirms no detectable RF signature—encrypted and unencrypted traffic look identical.

  • Ultra-Efficient: Less than 8 watts power draw, sub-millisecond latency, scalable from megabits to terabits.

  • Field-Proven: Validated at the Evasive Warrior Experiment, ensuring secure ATAK-to-ATAK comms over MPU5 radios while preserving blue-force tracking and situational awareness.

Built for the 5G & Defense Edge

  • Defense-Ready: Protects mission-critical communications in contested, disconnected, or coalition environments.

  • 5G Tactical Networks: Secures next-gen mesh and edge devices without bandwidth penalties.

  • ATAK Integration: Maintains full situational awareness—location, movement, and targeting data remain synchronized.

  • Dual-Use Resilience: Equally powerful for civilian infrastructure—hospitals, utilities, financial services, and disaster recovery.

Why Choose Isidore Quantum?

Competitors still rely on AES-256 alone. Isidore Quantum goes further—building dual-layer tunnels where keys appear once and vanish forever. Combined with AI-driven antifragility and hardware-enforced red/black separation, it resists brute force, quantum algorithms, side-channel extraction, and AI-enhanced cyber threats.

When quantum breaks today’s encryption, Isidore Quantum® is what stands.

Equip your tactical comms, 5G edge, and ATAK networks with the world’s first affordable, exportable, quantum-safe encryption solution.

Powerful. Lightweight. Affordable.

Unlike bulky, expensive legacy solutions, Isidore Quantum provides defense-grade, quantum-safe security in a package that’s easy to carry, easy to power, and easy to trust. Rugged enough for the field yet efficient enough to run on a drone battery, it secures ATAK, MPU5 radios, 5G tactical networks, and SATCOM links without slowing down operations—or draining budgets.

Invented by the NSA and proven with the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Space Force, and DARPA, it is the drop-in, future-proof encryption solution built for the edge of battle.

10 times the protection. Zero tradeoffs. Not 10 times the price.

Award a Phase III Sole Source Contract

Forward Edge-AI has four “easy buttons” to purchase Isidore Quantum without further competition:

Award a Phase III Sole Source Contract
