Arma Instruments

Why we’re here In 2017, when we looked at available secure communications technology, we saw products technologically incapable to deal with advanced adversaries, and products challenged by the involvement of Nation State Actors. We saw a need for a different kind of technology, and we knew it would take a different kind of company to build it. That’s why we founded ARMA Instruments. ARMA is an acronym to Advanced Relay Mission Applications. Challenges we solve You cannot prevent espionage on just the software level using encryption or even quantum resilient encryption. An attacker may tap into system vulnerabilities hidden in files or applications, hidden in operating system components, or perhaps in the many hardware components. The more convenience a system offers, the more complex it gets, giving room for many different angles of attack. This way, the encryption is already compromised before it has even come to effect. All system layers in a communications solution need to be secured, from the applications and software to the operating system and hardware platform. Our mission To provide absolute communications and data- security, based on zero-trust principles, while being transparent in organization and technology. We stay politically neutral.

Sage Cubesat Mission

The goal of SAGE is to give students the environment and the possibility to gather hands-on experience in an interdisciplinary space project. We aim to bring cutting-edge scientific research to space and inspire the next generation of engineers and professionals. The CubeSat Mission SAGE investigates the aging of human cells in the microgravity conditions of low earth orbit. With the growing significance of space exploration, understanding the impact of space on the aging of the human body is crucial. By keeping a state-of-the-art human model system alive and in optimal conditions inside the payload of our satellite, which usually requires a complex medical laboratory set up, we are able to gather scientifically relevant data directly in orbit. As a second science objective, SAGE is developing a control system capable of creating a milligravity environment as found on small moons and asteroids. This is achieved by utilizing the satellite as a centrifuge, providing a testbed for long-term research under milligravity conditions, as not found on Earth today.
