Blind Tiger was selected by U.S. Southern Command to support automated cellular managed access in response to regional security challenges. The effort focused on enabling scalable deployment of cellular security capabilities without requiring specialized cellular expertise, supporting mission needs across multiple wireless generations.
Selection Focus
- Automated deployment model aligned to real operational constraints
- Policy-based enforcement for controlling unvetted devices near protected areas
- Scalability across mixed wireless environments
Why This Early Work Matters Today
Modern threats increasingly exploit the same commercial wireless infrastructure used for daily operations. Managed access provides a durable model: enforce policy at the network layer, preserve approved connectivity, and avoid indiscriminate RF denial that can create operational risk.
