Redwire Corporation

Redwire Corporation is a space infrastructure company headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 2020, specializing in space systems and components. In September 2025, Redwire signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Honeywell to advance the QKDSat project, combining Redwire’s quantum platform technology with Honeywell’s quantum optical payload to create fully functional quantum-secured satellite communications systems by mid-2026. The QKDSat consortium, led by Honeywell and including Redwire, aims to develop ultra-secure telecommunications satellites using quantum key distribution for government, defense, and commercial applications. The project is backed by the European Space Agency and aims to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats using quantum encryption. Redwire brings deep space hardware expertise and satellite bus platform development to enable quantum-safe communications from orbit for government agencies, defense contractors, telecommunications operators, and critical infrastructure sectors.

2025 Developments: Development of quantum networking infrastructure and protocols continues in 2025. Research efforts focus on extending quantum communication range and reliability. Partnerships with telecommunications providers expand deployment opportunities.
