Forward Edge-AI's Isidore Quantum® Space Encryptor Advances U.S. National Security & Cyber Defense with Successful Launch on Rogue Space Systems' OTP-2 Mission
Sponsored by AFWERX, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) innovation arm, Isidore Quantum® Space Encryptor is a groundbreaking, quantum-resistant encryption technology designed to counteract cyber threats and secure satellite communications for government and defense operations. Its protocol-free encryption, small size, low weight, and power consumption (SWaP), and AI-driven real-time threat detection ensure superior protection against classical cyber incursions and emerging quantum computer vulnerabilities. This technology directly supports national defense by fortifying America's critical infrastructure and space-based operations against foreign adversaries. AFWERX is powered by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and brings cutting-edge American ingenuity from small businesses and start-ups to address the most pressing challenges of the DAF.
'In today's high-threat environment, we must ensure that America leads in AI-driven cybersecurity, especially in space,' said Eric Adolphe, CEO of Forward Edge-AI. 'Isidore Quantum® is Commercial National Security Algorithms (CNSA) 2.0 suite compliant, and designed to secure our defense networks, allowing U.S. military and intelligence agencies to operate with the highest level of confidence and efficiency.'
The United States prioritizes military readiness, technological superiority, and government efficiency, and Forward Edge-AI's participation in the OTP-2 mission directly supports these goals. To ensure mission alignment, Isidore Quantum® Space Encryptor development activities were guided by the Maryland Air National Guard, 275th Cyberspace Operations Squadron. Our academic partner, Sam Houston State University, was tasked with cyber defense evaluation and testing. Forward Edge-AI enhances U.S. military cyber resilience with AI-powered threat detection, boosts government efficiency through real-time AI-driven decision-making, and promotes America's space dominance by securing military communications. Additionally, Forward Edge-AI reduces reliance on foreign technology by advancing domestic AI and cybersecurity innovation, ensuring American sovereignty over critical infrastructure and national security assets in space.
Ross Coffman, President of Forward Edge-AI, emphasized the mission's strategic significance: 'Q-Day will usher in a new and unsettling reality—one where every aspect of our digital lives will be compromised. This launch makes Isidore Quantum the first post-quantum solution to secure information on land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace.'
The OTP-2 mission is a strategic testbed for next-generation defense applications, including a Scalable Compute Platform (SCP) for edge computing, experimental propulsion systems, and advanced optical sensors.

Trump says Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar, at his request
President Trump said The Coca-Cola Company has agreed to use real cane sugar, at his request, in the American version of their flagship drink. 'I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so. I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them — You'll see. It's just better!' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform Wednesday. In a Wednesday statement on its website, The Coca-Cola Company said it admires 'President Trump's enthusiasm for our iconic Coca‑Cola brand.' 'More details on new innovative offerings within our Coca‑Cola product range will be shared soon,' the statement continued. The president has historically been known to have a penchant for Diet Coke, with Trump having an Oval Office button that aided in the delivery of the soda during his first presidency. According to news reports, Trump would often drink 12 cans of Diet Coke a day. Prior to his inauguration, Trump was awarded the 'first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural' Diet Coke by Coca-Cola's CEO, according to his longtime aide Margo Martin. 'Tonight, President Trump received the first ever Presidential Commemorative Inaugural Diet Coke bottle from the Chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Company, James Quincey,' Martin said in a post on the social platform X.

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up TECH Advertisement Nvidia CEO downplays role in lifting US ban on chip sales to China CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang spoke to journalists during a press conference at the Mandarin Oriental Qianmen after attending the third China International Supply Chain Expo, in Beijing, on Wednesday. Andy Wong/Associated Press The head of Nvidia downplayed his role in getting the US government to lift a ban on selling an advanced computer chip in China and said it will take time to ramp up production once orders for the AI-processor come in. CEO Jensen Huang, speaking Wednesday in the Chinese capital Beijing, was upbeat about the prospects for the H20 chip, which was designed to meet US restrictions on technology exports to China but nonetheless blocked in April. He met President Trump before his trip and his company announced this week it had received assurances that sales to China would be approved. 'I don't think I changed his mind,' Huang told a cluster of journalists, many of whom asked for his autograph or to take selfies with him. He described his role as informing governments in the United States and elsewhere of the nature and unintended consequences of their policies. The decision to lift the ban on the H20 chip was entirely in the hands of the American and Chinese governments and whatever trade talks they had, he said. 'We can only influence them, inform them, do our best to provide them with facts,' Huang said. 'And then beyond that is out of our control.' — ASSOCIATED PRESS Advertisement ECONOMY Fed Beige Book shows slight improvement People walk in a shopping district along 5th Avenue in Manhattan on July 14. Spencer Platt/Getty US economic activity 'increased slightly' between late May and early July, the Federal Reserve said in its Beige Book survey of regional business contacts. 'That represented an improvement over the previous report, in which half of districts reported at least slight declines in activity,' according to the report published Wednesday. 'Uncertainty remained elevated, contributing to ongoing caution by businesses.' All 12 regions of the country reported price increases, with businesses experiencing 'modest to pronounced input cost pressures related to tariffs,' the Beige Book said. 'Many firms passed on at least a portion of cost increases to consumers through price hikes or surcharges, although some held off raising prices because of customers' growing price sensitivity, resulting in compressed profit margins,' according to the report. The Boston Fed compiled the latest edition of the Beige Book using information gathered on or before July 7. The report includes commentary and anecdotes from business leaders and other contacts in each of the Fed's 12 regional districts. Fed officials next meet July 29-30. — BLOOMBERG NEWS Advertisement PHARMACEUTICALS J&J shrugs off Trump tariff threat and boosts outlook The Johnson & Johnson campus in New Brunswick, N.J. Mark Kauzlarich/Bloomberg Johnson & Johnson beat Wall Street's quarterly sales expectations and raised its full-year outlook, a show of confidence as the pharmaceutical industry faces the dual threats of tariffs and a crackdown on drug pricing. J&J's strong second quarter comes as President Trump floats the idea of levies on the sector. On Tuesday night, he said tariffs on drugs could 'probably' come at the end of the month, starting low and working their way up. A week earlier, Trump told reporters he would impose tariffs as high as 200 percent on drug companies if they don't shift more of their manufacturing to the US over the next year to 18 months. A slow ramp-up to tariffs would actually be good news, J&J chief financial officer Joe Wolk said in an interview. The delay shows 'there's an understanding you can't put up a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility overnight,' Wolk said. 'As long as those conversations continue to occur, I think we're in a pretty good position.' Shares rose 6.2 percent in Wednesday trading. J&J is often an industry bellwether as the first heath care company to report earnings each quarter. Its performance is being closely watched as drugmakers operate under the specter of potential tariffs and a new policy that seeks to make US drug prices among the lowest in the world. — BLOOMBERG NEWS HEALTH Kennedy fires 2 top aides in department shake-up US Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a roundtable discussion on soil health at the US Capitol on July 15. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired two of his top aides this week, shaking up his leadership team at the Department of Health and Human Services amid an aggressive effort to reshape public health policy. The firings were of Heather Flick Melanson, his chief of staff, and Hannah Anderson, his deputy chief of staff for policy, according to two people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the personnel changes. The reason for the ousters, which were first reported by CNN, was not immediately clear. Both Flick Melanson and Anderson were seen as steady and effective government veterans. During a recent Senate hearing, Kennedy indicated that they were the people in his office to call to get things done. When one lawmaker raised a concern about regulations governing the amount of sugar in orange juice, Kennedy advised: 'Why don't you call Heather Flick or Hannah Anderson this week? And we will act on that as quickly as we can.' But Kennedy has also demonstrated that he is willing to muscle his agenda forward. He has pushed ahead with a plan to fire about 20,000 staff members from the health department and pare down 28 divisions to 15 — all amid court challenges. — NEW YORK TIMES Advertisement
