Zero Trust at the Forward Edge.
C2 networks, tactical radios, and autonomous ground vehicles — all connected, all contested. Maintain mission continuity when connectivity is intermittent, degraded, or denied.
Mission Continuity Across the Battlespace.
Five capabilities purpose-built for ground force operations — enforce Zero Trust across C2 nodes, vehicles, and autonomous multipliers in contested environments.
Forward Node Enforcement
Zero Trust enforced at each C2 node and vehicle independently. No reach-back to rear infrastructure required. Policies enforce locally during comms blackout.
Degraded Comms Resilience
Autonomous policy enforcement continues when tactical radios are jammed or connectivity is intermittent. Mission continuity guaranteed locally.
Manned / UGV Segmentation
Enforce identity-aware micro-segmentation between crewed vehicles and autonomous ground vehicles. Compromising one UGV cannot cascade to C2 networks.
Air-Gap & Sovereign Native
Zero cloud dependency. Fully inspectable. All data and policies remain under national control. Deploys in air-gapped, classified, and ITAR-restricted ground environments.
Tactical Network Visibility
Real-time discovery of every connected asset across the tactical network — radios, sensors, autonomous platforms, and command systems. Detect rogue devices instantly.
Trusted by defense forces and sovereign programs.
to deploy Zero Trust enforcement in restricted on-premise environments — from unboxing to operational.
“Legacy defenses assume a perimeter that no longer exists in contested domains. The Access Gate enforces identity-aware segmentation between crewed and unmanned systems — exactly what hybrid force architecture demands.”

Common Questions About Ground Force Network Security.
cloud dependencies required. The Access Gate operates fully autonomous at the forward edge — sovereign, inspectable, air-gap native.
The Access Gate enforces Zero Trust policies autonomously at each C2 node and vehicle. No reach-back to rear or cloud infrastructure is required. When tactical comms are jammed or degraded, all policies continue enforcing locally. When connectivity is restored, logs and state synchronize automatically.
The Access Gate creates identity-aware micro-segmentation between crewed vehicles and UGVs. Each platform gets independent network policies. Compromising one autonomous vehicle cannot grant lateral access to C2 networks or other manned platforms.
Yes. The Access Gate is available in ruggedized form factors suitable for vehicle mounting, mobile C2 nodes, and forward operating bases. It operates without climate-controlled facilities and tolerates the power and environmental conditions of tactical environments.
Yes. The Access Gate is fully on-premise with zero cloud dependency. All software is inspectable. All data and policies remain under national control. Suitable for NATO, allied coalition, and national sovereign programs in classified environments.
The Access Gate enforces granular access policies per nation, role, and classification level. Allied units can be granted controlled, time-limited, audited access to specific systems without exposing the broader tactical network.
