US Army seeks cyber solution for Stryker
Cybersecurity company to provide prototype vehicle security system and unified kits
Cybersecurity for the Stryker combat vehicle is being enhanced by Shift5 under a $2.6 million contract from the US Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).
Shift5 will provide a prototype vehicle security system and unified cybersecurity prototype kits to the RCCTO, to help protect operational technology aboard Stryker.
Over the course of a year, Shift5 will develop, test, and refine an enhanced vehicle security system prototype ‘and deliver a transition-ready product’ to increase the cyber survivability of Stryker across the full lifecycle, the company announced on 16 November.
Shift5 was selected after appearing in the inaugural RCCTO Innovation Day event, held in September 2019.
