Nightshade

User Configurable, Rapidly Deployable Secure Infrastructure

Secure operations anywhere. Even where infrastructure doesn't exist.

Modern operations are moving faster than traditional infrastructure can keep up. When teams are deployed at the mission edge in forward operating environments, or across rapidly changing operational theatres, they need secure access to information, collaboration tools, and mission-critical systems without having to rely on established networks or data centres.

Nightshade is a secure digital working environment that can be deployed wherever operations demand. Designed for Armed Forces, Defence and National Security organisations, it enables personnel to communicate, share information and coordinate effectively from headquarters to the tactical edge, ensuring mission continuity wherever the mission takes them.

With Nightshade, Leonardo can:

  • Provide a rapidly deployable and transportable space for temporary working with classified information up to T-S
  • Deliver within 14 weeks of order, with full assurance case in accordance with UK Ministry of Defence PSyA requirements
  • Offer a capability that can expand from a single ISO footprint to a multi-ISO footprint to meet user space requirements
  • Configure the space in a range of designs to suite end user needs: meeting room, office, lab, network room, and provide fitted for IT or with IT included
  • Offer a ‘Swing Space’ to maintain operations during traditional wet builds as well as temporary deployments for ‘off-site’ testing
  • Offer remote monitoring should local guarding not be possible
  • Configure for compatibility with other Leonardo solutions such as SHADOW where the user requires local secure IT and doesn’t have this available at site, or HEIMDALL where additional assurance is required for the management of Personal Electronic Devices.
