US Space Force increases efforts to plug training capabilities gaps
The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
Cellcrypt, the leading provider of encrypted voice calling on mobile phones, today announced that it has launched a full-duplex version of its Cellcrypt Mobile for BlackBerry encrypted voice calling application for CDMA networks.
Full-duplex allows simultaneous two-way communication compared to half-duplex that provides two-way communication that is not simultaneous ("walkie-talkie" style). This is the world's first full-duplex encrypted voice call capability on a BlackBerry smartphone on a CDMA network using an IP-based software-only solution. Cellcrypt launched the world's first half-duplex calling solution in 2010.
Cellcrypt Mobile is used by governments and corporations globally and is a downloadable application for off-the-shelf smartphones that provides end-to-end encryption of voice calls over cellular (2G, 3G, 4G), Wi-Fi and satellite networks. Cellcrypt Mobile uses cryptography certified to the US government National Institute of Standards and Technology FIPS 140-2 security standard and has been awarded the CESG Claims Tested Mark (CCTM) from the UK government's information assurance authority.
"Cellcrypt is unique in the industry in overcoming significant technical challenges to deliver the industry's first full-duplex BlackBerry secure voice calling solution on CDMA," said Richard Greco, CEO of Cellcrypt. "Not only is this testament to Cellcrypt's world-leading innovation in secure voice calling solutions for commercial off-the-shelf smartphones, but this latest update is spectacular in that it provides outstanding performance and seamless interoperability with many other devices on both CDMA and GSM networks, globally."
Cellcrypt Mobile for BlackBerry version 6.1.1 and above supports full-duplex on CDMA and is available immediately on BlackBerry Bold 9650 and BlackBerry Style 9670 smartphones from Verizon running BlackBerry OS 6.0.524.

The service has been seeking simulation and emulation solutions capable of reproducing multiple in-orbit threats.
The service has been conducting several acquisition and upgrading efforts involving artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve communication, data analysis and ISR systems.
The Syracuse 4B communications satellite, developed by Airbus and Thales Alenia Space, was launched last year, bolstering secure military satellite communications for the French Armed Forces. Thales has now been selected to provide terminals for vehicles.
The growing importance of space in modern warfare, advancements in satellite technology, and increasing threats from rivals like China and Russia were among the topics of a Eurosatory 2024 panel on military space operations.
AN/ARC-232A is a Starfire radio that provides VHF/UHF communications to airborne platforms and the transceiver is software-programmable, allowing for multiple waveform support as well as optional national electronic counter counter-measure (ECCM) capability.
During the 18-month period of the contract, Lockheed Martin will apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to create surrogate models of aircraft, sensors, electronic warfare and weapons within dynamic and operationally representative environments.
