The project will provide a secure, future-proof system for authentication mechanisms, targeting defence and critical infrastructure environments based on a combination of post-quantum cryptography and quantum key distribution, with decentralised identities management via blockchain technologies. In addition, the project will create a comprehensive end-to-end simulator that models quantum satellite to ground station communication to deliver a highly detailed budget for performance estimation.
The Q-ARM (Quantum Agile Resilient Military communications) project, coordinated by Almaviva, has been funded by the European Commission (EC) within the European Defence Fund (EDF). It will run from 2025 until 2028, with the grant agreement no. 101224135.
​The project will last 36 months and has a maximum EU contribution of 5M Euros.
The multinational consortium for the Q-ARM project includes Italy (Z&P, Almaviva, Tecoms), Croatia (HD-INFO), Portugal (N10GLED), Poland (Politechnicka Warszawska, Wojskowa Akademia Techniczna), France (DRI), Bulgaria (AFSEA).
