L3Harris and PentenAmio have formalised a new teaming agreement to accelerate sovereign cryptographic innovation and deliver secure communications capabilities for defence and government customers across the UK, Australia, and Canada.
The new agreement was signed at the annual Military Communications and Information Systems Conference in Canberra this week.
The collaboration is expected to advance joint technology development, commercialisation and export opportunities through developing advanced cryptographic innovation and secure communications capabilities.
The agreement establishes a framework for continued collaboration in joint innovation, commercialisation and technology export while supporting the development of critical cryptographic expertise within trusted allied nations.
“By combining two sovereign encryption portfolios, we’re unlocking scale, agility and mission relevance,” PentenAmio chief executive officer Sarah Bailey said.
“This is about delivering integrated solutions that meet the evolving needs of allied governments and defence organisations and doing it quickly and reliably.”
The teaming agreement builds on the successful co-development of the Symmetric Key Manager (SKM), which integrates software and hardware to deliver trusted cryptographic key solutions.
The SKM enables secure, over-the-network key generation for classified environments and provides a sustainable, adaptable approach to managing encryption technology.
The agreement reflects both organisations’ shared commitment to advancing next-generation cryptographic key solutions that combine hardware, software and services into a seamless, interoperable offering for defence and government customers.
It also reinforces a long-term focus on technology innovation, capability sustainment and industrial cooperation between the UK, Australia, Canada and other allied defence sectors.
“This teaming strengthens the foundation for continued innovation in cryptographic technology,” said Ian Menzies, general manager, intelligence and cyber international at L3Harris.
“Working with PentenAmio, a leading provider of advanced digital security solutions, allows both organisations to leverage complementary expertise and deliver enhanced capabilities for our customers.
“This is another example of how L3Harris works with trusted partners to deliver secure, mission-ready solutions.
“Together with PentenAmio, we are building on proven experience and investing in the future of cryptographic capability.”
The agreement is non-exclusive, allowing both L3Harris and PentenAmio to pursue customer requirements independently and offer their own products or services.
This flexibility enables each organisation to continue working with other partners where appropriate, provided such activities do not rely on data or information shared under this agreement.
By formalising their cooperation, L3Harris and PentenAmio are creating a framework for future growth and technology development that will continue to evolve to meet customer and market needs across multiple territories.
