Babcock International a utilisé le logiciel de chiffrement d'Arqit pour transmettre des données de scénario d'un site de quartier général à son Ground Deployed Advanced Mortar System à travers un réseau de chiffrement à couches à DVD 2026, sans chiffreur physique en ligne, à la suite d'un protocole d'entente entre les deux entreprises.

At DVD 2026 in Millbrook, UK, defence integrator Babcock International reported that it collected scenario data at one site, encrypted it with Arqit software and transmitted it to its Ground Deployed Advanced Mortar System at a second site, across a layered encryption network without physical inline encryptors. Babcock describes the exercise as a demonstration of how a headquarters and a deployed platform can exchange operational information securely in a contested environment.
The demonstration follows a memorandum of understanding between Babcock and Arqit to explore combining Babcock's mission systems, systems integration and digital engineering with Arqit's cryptographic and secure networking technology. Babcock says the resulting networks span IP bearers including 4G and 5G, Wi-Fi, satcom and tactical radios, and can be integrated across crewed and uncrewed land, maritime and air platforms. These are the companies' own claims from the event; independent test results were not published.
What matters here is not the mortar. It is that quantum-safe encryption was applied in software across mixed bearers, on equipment that already existed, without adding inline encryptors. The hardware stays. The keys change. That is the same model we deliver to Canadian critical infrastructure with Arqit's platform: discovery to remediation, without rip and replace.
