Leonardo DRS Inc. has announced the successful first on-orbit test of its revolutionary multi-channel software-defined radio (SDR) with integrated advanced cryptography. This technology, called the eXtended Crypto Module3-Space (XCM3-Space), demonstrated secure, high-performance satellite data transport in Low Earth Orbit $(LEO)$ and met all primary objectives during its test aboard a Proteus Mercury satellite launched in late November. The results highlight Leonardo DRS's rapid research and development efforts, with the project completed in under twelve months. The company plans a second system launch in 2026 to further demonstrate advanced edge processing and waveform capabilities.
