Space Data and CYPHIC Forge a Strategic Partnership

In a significant move towards enhancing national security, Space Data Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has announced its strategic collaboration with CYPHIC, the only specialized electronic warfare startup in Japan. This partnership aims to develop and implement advanced information technology solutions within the domain of electronic warfare, critical for the nation's security and resilience.

Context and Purpose of the Collaboration

The modern security environment is rapidly shifting towards a paradigm of 'non-kinetic warfare,' where conflicts do not necessarily involve physical destruction. Electronic warfare threats such as GNSS spoofing—where signals are falsified to mislead positioning systems—and jamming are now recognized as severe risks. These threats can significantly impact drone operations, aviation, maritime activities, GNSS-guided missiles, and essential societal infrastructure.

Space Data leverages advanced satellite data and 3D technology through its integrated platform called "PROVIDENCE," which allows for immersive learning in virtual environments. In contrast, CYPHIC specializes in cutting-edge technologies for detecting GNSS spoofing and estimating the location of electromagnetic wave sources, contributing to the development of digital mission engineering in virtual scenarios.

The synergy between CYPHIC's expertise in electronic warfare technologies—ranging from spoofing detection to electromagnetic threat analysis—and Space Data's advanced digital twin technologies has paved the way for this strategic collaboration.

Aims of the Partnership

This partnership will capitalize on Space Data's high-precision digital twin environments to vastly increase the experimentation of complex jamming patterns through simulations that would be challenging to conduct in the real world. This initiative is expected to lead to innovative security solutions based on various electronic warfare scenarios.

Key Areas of Focus

1. Digital Twin Creation and Simulation in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
The team will explore technologies to visualize and analyze the propagation of electromagnetic waves and the impacts of jamming on a digital twin that accurately represents real-world terrains and architectures.

2. Collaborative Development of Autonomous Electronic Warfare Algorithms
Combining CYPHIC's electronic warfare technology, Cobra-EW, with Space Data's PROVIDENCE platform, they will investigate the joint development of algorithms capable of autonomously detecting and identifying threats as well as executing interception or avoidance strategies.

3. Joint Solutions for Security and Resilience
The collaboration aims to develop strategies and solutions that can be offered to government agencies like Japan's Ministry of Defense and critical infrastructure businesses in sectors such as electricity, transportation, and telecommunications. This will include measures to combat spoofing and counteract jamming technologies.
