AWS Cloud: Ready to Power Integrated Homeland Defense

AWS enables secure SI/ML and GenSI for mission acceleration, adaptive scenarios, and missile defense modeling.

AWS Ground Station's fully managed service enables partners to build integrated space-ground architectures with sub-second downlink and processing capabilities. Partners can leverage existing ground infrastructure and AWS services to establish secure communications pathways that meet mission requirements for time-sensitive missile defense operations.

Integrated Homeland Defense requires scalable, resilient, and secure data aggregation capabilities to meet the dynamic threat landscape. The AWS Global Network provides a secure foundation for missile defense operations across space, air, land, and maritime domains. AWS's global infrastructure delivers high-throughput, low-latency connectivity supporting geographically dispersed missile defense components with redundant network paths.

Integrated Homeland Defense requires assured secured communications and decision advantage in denied environments through a resilient, self-healing mesh network that operates where traditional infrastructure cannot. The Edge Mesh Components extend capabilities to the tactical edge, enabling distributed processing, local data persistence, and resilient connectivity in forward-deployed environments that have connectivity to the AWS cloud. Partners can deploy containerized applications, run ML models, and process sensor data locally all synchronized with the AWS cloud. AWS also supports integrating third party edge products, extending the AWS suite of cloud capability to customizable edge solutions. 

AWS provides a comprehensive suite of services and tools to enable digital engineering for missile defense systems at scale. The AWS cloud offers compute, storage, and networking resources to support large-scale, high-fidelity simulations. Partners can leverage specialized instance types optimized for HPC, running complex physics-based models, sensor fusion algorithms, and system-of-systems scenarios.

Missile defense demands cross-classification systems to fuse critical intelligence, protect proprietary algorithms, and enable seamless coordination when seconds determine survival. AWS provides cloud services designed to support government workloads across multiple classification levels through AWS GovCloud (US) and other government-specific Regions. These offerings enable partners to leverage cloud computing capabilities while maintaining required security and compliance requirements. AWS supports secure data transfer capabilities that meet government standards for cross-domain solutions.

A secure supply chain is a critical requirement for components vital to national security missions like missile defense. AWS implements rigorous security controls throughout its hardware supply chain to ensure the integrity and reliability of mission-critical systems. Our comprehensive supply chain risk management program includes sourcing components from trusted and vetted suppliers, maintaining strict chain of custody protocols, and conducting regular audits of supply chain partners. For national security customers operating in classified environments, these security measures help ensure that their most sensitive workloads are protected by industry-leading security practices and the stringent requirements of defense and intelligence communities.

Amazon Braket is a fully managed service that helps you get started with quantum computing in the AWS commercial cloud. Customers can explore multiple quantum hardware architectures to evaluate potential future applications for missile defense systems. AWS is also deploying new NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are designed to resist both classical and quantum computing attacks. 

AWS supports defense procurement through JWCC, AWS Marketplace, Tradewinds, and P1 Solutions Marketplace.
