Act Now: Turn Fiscal Year End Funds Into Quantum Safe Defense
Introduction to Cassian Lifecycle PQC Migration
Federal agencies face a hard deadline. President Trump’s June 2026 executive order and OMB Memorandum M-26-15 require every agency to submit a quantum safe migration plan and show real progress before the year closes. Adversaries are already collecting encrypted government data, storing it until quantum computers can break it open. Every month of delay adds more exposed records to that pile.
Cassian discovers vulnerable cryptography, builds the PQC migration plan, and then executes, governs, and monitors the transition at mission scale. Where most tools stop at scanning or advisory planning, Cassian solves the problem end to end — and executes the plan. Cassian is especially powerful as the management and control plane for Isidore Quantum® — the world’s first zero-trust, quantum-secure communication appliance — transforming distributed appliances into a unified, resilient, mission-ready fleet.

Fiscal year 2026 dollars expire September 30. Unused funds return to the Treasury. Smart agencies convert that money into quantum defense now, instead of losing it.
Introduction to the Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit (IQMK)
Cassian paired with the IQMK gives your team a complete, portable command center for post quantum readiness. One kit finds more than 85 percent of vulnerable encryption across your network within 30 minutes, scores the risk of every system, and starts migration to NIST approved algorithms automatically.
A simulated Air Force environment showed Cassian raising cryptographic visibility from near zero to above 80 percent and cutting response time from days to under fifteen minutes. The accompanying Isidore Quantum HSM hardware rekeys itself with 99.9 percent reliability and adds less than half a millisecond of delay, so mission systems keep running at full speed.
Choose the Fastest Way to Buy
Purchase card. One Isidore Quantum Mobile Kit costs $7,600 with a Government discount code, within most purchase card limits. Contracting officers can order today and have a working unit in hand before the fiscal year closes.
Phase III SBIR sole source. Forward Edge-AI holds Air Force, Army, and Space Force SBIR awards for Cassian and Isidore Quantum. Agencies can award a sole source contract under this authority without new competition. Our fastest recorded award closed in one day.
CDAO Tradewinds. Agencies already on the Tradewinds vehicle can issue a task order directly to Forward Edge AI, skipping a new procurement action and keeping funds inside the current fiscal year.
US Air Force Commercial Solutions Offering. Expedient Basing Challenge CSO provides one of the fastest acquisition pathways available, enabling DoW organizations to obligate remaining fiscal year funds quickly through streamlined commercial contracting while accelerating prototype awards and operational deployment before the September 30 deadline.
First, contact Brandon Chapman, Chief Growth Officer, to confirm funding, obtain a government discount code, and pick a path.
Second, complete a short market survey memo for sole source awards, or submit a purchase card order for immediate delivery.
Third, deploy your IQMK, start discovery within 30 minutes of power on, and show measurable readiness progress before September 30.
Quantum safe deadlines will not move. Fiscal year 2026 funds will not carry forward. Agencies that act in the next few weeks turn a compliance deadline into a finished mission. Waiting only shrinks the window and grows the risk.
