Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are critical to modern military operations, supporting intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, and long-endurance missions.
These platforms must capture, store, and protect sensitive data in real-time despite the severe size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints. For one UAV developer, meeting program requirements meant finding a secure network attached storage (NAS) solution with zero development time, mission-ready encryption, and reliable, scalable centralized storage—even under harsh conditions.
The Challenge
The UAV developer needed a rugged, National Security Agency (NSA)-approved NAS solution that could be deployed without custom engineering. The system had to protect Top Secret data-at-rest using Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) encryption, offer reliable Ethernet network redundancy to guard against data loss, and fit within the platform’s physical and power constraints. They also needed high capacity, scalable storage to support high-volume sensor data.
