MOUSE Family of Training Platforms

The MOUSE Family of Training Platforms features a trio of autonomous systems: spacecraft, quadcopter drone, and ground vehicle. Each highlights essential cybersecurity design principles and provides complex challenges for cybersecurity defenders. Serving as flexible equivalent stand-ins to real-world spacecraft, drones, and ground vehicles, these systems ensure the security of an organization’s trade secrets, intellectual property, and proprietary design plans, maintaining the organization’s competitive edge in the marketplace. Simultaneously, they offer a safe platform for engineers to engage in vital discussions on designing secure and trustworthy systems.

IRON GALAXY – Space Systems Demonstrator
