QuSecure said it demonstrated operational readiness at Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PCC6), the capstone event hosted by the U.S. Army at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin. The company’s update links the exercise results to federal deadlines under Executive Order 14412 for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration by 2030-2031.
PCC6 included thousands of soldiers conducting maneuvers and mission threads to test future concepts, capabilities, and formations for the Army, Joint Force, and Multinational allies and partners. QuSecure’s statement said the event provided a live setting for testing the company’s PQC product with Army tactical mission systems.
At PCC6, QuSecure said its flagship PQC product, QuProtect R3, provided quantum-resistant communications, cryptographic agility, and cryptographic discovery and inventory for Army tactical mission systems. As a result of QuProtect R3’s operation by soldiers in real-world conditions, QuProtect R3 attained Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 7. The company also referenced a Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition “PQC Solution Analysis Guide” that identifies “Technical Readiness” as a key focus area and states that TRL-7 is the highest score for this category.
QuSecure said it conducted close, iterative development with C5ISR to adapt the product and add capabilities for tactical networks, and that PCC6 marked a milestone in that maturation. Joey Lupo said, “Participation in PCC6 caps off almost two years of close, iterative development work with C5ISR to adapt the product and add new capabilities for tactical networks,” and added, “C5ISR has been instrumental in helping QuProtect mature into the product it is today.” Brian Cunningham said, “TRL-7 at PCC6 means the Army is not waiting. They have a proven, deployable platform operating in live-force tactical conditions right now, years ahead of the 2030-2031 compliance window.”
