Major Release of Acorn 2.0 Software Product Announced
Redwire Expands its AI-Powered Digital Engineering Tools
An advanced modeling and simulation software supporting the rapid mission concept development and analysis needs of aerospace and defense customers has been announced by Redwire.
“Acorn 2.0 represents a significant advancement in modeling and simulation capabilities for aerospace and defense customers that are tackling some of the most complex missions in space.”
Tom Campbell, Redwire
Built on Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA), Acorn 2.0 harnesses the power of agent-based modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve complex problems that may exceed the capacity of static modeling tools. With agent-based architecture, Acorn 2.0 offers aerospace and defense customers the ability to rapidly simulate and validate prospective solutions including hybrid architectures; meshed networks; multi-domain operations; virtual, cyber, test, and evaluation ranges; high-fidelity spacecraft communications; and supply chain digital twins.
“Acorn 2.0 represents a significant advancement in modeling and simulation capabilities for aerospace and defense customers that are tackling some of the most complex missions in space,” said Tom Campbell, president of Redwire Space Missions. “We recognize the challenges of large space-based architectures—from satellite constellations to layered defense systems—require robust domain-specific digital engineering systems and through Acorn 2.0 we are excited to deliver these solutions to our customers.”
Features of Acorn 2.0 include:
Accelerated and interactive simulation modes
Rapid integration and test (in-the-loop/hybrid architectures; heterogeneous agents)
Offensive/defensive cyber and vulnerability assessments and analysis
Dynamic, interactive, and immersive user experience
Compatible with existing artificial intelligence and modeling and simulation tools and agents
Redwire has already begun Acorn 2.0 software deployments for select customers. Redwire recently announced a contract with DeepSat, an Earth observation startup, that will leverage Acorn 2.0 and in-orbit AI to support the architectural design and performance optimization of their satellite constellation.
