CT Cubed has been awarded an $8.8 million prime contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), HELLFIRE Division, to advance and field IRON GALAXY, CT Cubed's space/cyber range platform.
Under the contract, CT Cubed will bring IRON GALAXY directly to the warfighters and mission teams who need to train, rehearse, develop, and test tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for contested environments.
IRON GALAXY gives operators a place to work real problems without real-world consequences. The range puts realistic mission environments into the hands of operators so they can train the way they fight. Teams can walk mission plans through detailed ROC drills, challenge assumptions, and make difficult decisions during rehearsal rather than for the first time during a mission.
IRON GALAXY also provides an environment for research, development, rapid prototyping, and TTP development. New concepts and capabilities can move from the whiteboard to a working prototype, then be exercised against representative mission conditions before they are relied upon operationally.
The objective is simple: increase speed without sacrificing realism. A team can rehearse a difficult mission, identify what breaks, make changes, and run it again, all within the same environment.
Why CT Cubed
IRON GALAXY was designed around years of experience supporting space and cyber operations, mission rehearsal, training, and complex technical environments. Our team understands the challenges operators face when realistic ranges are limited, mission systems are difficult to reproduce, and new capabilities need to be evaluated quickly. That operational perspective shapes how we build IRON GALAXY.
Beyond IRON GALAXY
IRON GALAXY is one piece of a wider set of capabilities we build for cyber training, mission rehearsal, research, testing, and simulation across complex operational environments. If your team needs IRON GALAXY, a custom cyber range, hardware-in-the-loop environments, or other training and simulation work, reach out to set up a demonstration or talk through your mission requirements.
