About General Dynamics Mission Systems
General Dynamics Mission Systems engineers systems for combat vehicles, ships, submarines, aircraft, spacecraft and other advanced defense systems. MEDUSA is a submarine-launched delivery system that uses an expendable unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to deploy payloads.[2]
General Dynamics Mission Systems provides spacecraft systems and subsystems engineering, mission planning, ground systems engineering and management, communications and network services. General Dynamics Mission Systems engineers integrated, tested and delivered the ground system command and control segment known as the Mission Operations Element (MOE). Satellite operations centers of General Dynamics Mission Systems have connected the U.S. Navy fleet and military since 1991. General Dynamics Mission Systems will evolve the ground system architecture under the Ground, Management and Integration program to support development of Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture mission capabilities. General Dynamics Mission Systems engineers space electronics, encryption products and ground systems.
QGroup integrates PitBull into its security solution offerings for international customers, including the German Bundeswehr. PitBull is available as the secure foundation for customized solutions through value-added reseller Codeweavers. The Software Development Kit included with PitBull purchase contains libraries, header files, maintenance pages and software developer manuals for writing PitBull-specific applications or modifying existing applications.[4]
Keystone is an infrastructure of security capabilities rooted in Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware. Keystone is currently pre-integrating its security capabilities on COTS SBCs from Abaco and Curtiss-Wright. Keystone has hardware configurations it supports and can be adopted to support custom hardware, from small SWAP tactical to enterprise-level use cases. Idaho Scientific is now part of General Dynamics Mission Systems and specializes in embedded security. The Helios Memory Guard and Helios Processing Systems are designed to defend against physical attacks on secure data through authentication and encryption. The Helios Memory Guard (HMG) is shimmed in between the processor and memory controller to provide just-in-time encryption, decryption, and authentication for all memory write and read requests. HMG decrypts and authenticates boot/load-time images encrypted by the Helios Packager before deployment, and the user maintains full ownership and management of the load-time keys. The Helios Processing System (HPS) integrates Helios Memory Guard (HMG) with a processor to provide a secure processor IP package.[5][6]
The PhantomLink free space optical (FSO) system provides laser communications for the tactical environment. The PhantomLink system operates outside of regulated spectrum, which allows rapid deployment in support of military operations. The PhantomLink system is capable of at-the-quick-halt operations and is upgradeable to on-the-move operations. The MC2 Hub is a replacement for the fielded BFT-2 and integrates a modular, multi-transport design with anti-jam and beamforming capabilities. The MC2 Hub architecture supports future LEO constellations and alignment with FIPS 140-3 and NIST SP 800-53/800-171 security standards. General Dynamics is a certified Iridium Value Added Reseller and provides securable handsets to the U.S. government and its allies. General Dynamics provides fixed satellite air time and can assist in provisioning end to end satellite solutions. General Dynamics provides Iridium handsets with accessories and airtime service plans.[7][8][9]
For more than 70 years, General Dynamics has designed and manufactured custom precision metal optical components for defense, space and airborne applications. General Dynamics provides end-to-end design, fabrication and testing of beryllium and aluminum optics, from scan mirrors to plano and aspheric mirrors to complex telescope assemblies. The General Dynamics team in Cullman, Alabama has built 21 primary mirror segments, two secondary mirrors, 21 delta frames, 10 various aft optical components and beryllium panels for the James Webb Space Telescope since 1998. General Dynamics provides close tolerance machining and processing of beryllium and its alloys for optics and optical assemblies. General Dynamics produces lightweight composite structural components and integrated assemblies for a wide variety of aircraft applications. General Dynamics aircraft composite products include wing and fuselage structures, flight control surfaces, doors, engine structures and pressure vessels. General Dynamics provides highly complex systems integration for land, airborne and maritime platforms.[2][4][9][11]
