ACORN: Agent-Based Digital Engineering
Redwire’s Agent-Based Configurable Open-system Realtime Network (ACORN) is a rich set of tools and applications, built on a modular software architecture, designed to support the integration of multiple, disparate systems into a common environment for overarching mission analysis. This Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) based solution is proven for rapidly building models and simulations of targeted assets. ACORN is flexible, extensible, and agnostic to electrical interfaces, software/firmware modules, and hardware/sub-system components. ACORN is the backbone of space missions, supporting space system design, hardware/software integration, and testing.

Heritage & Success
Communications Networking
Redwire’s Link Supervisor is a standalone application designed to communicate with ACORN (or other open-system architectures) and characterize over the air communication links between assets. It has been used to evaluate link budget performance of both RF and optical communication channels, whether it be an ACORN asset representing a spacecraft, a stationary ground target, or a moving ground target. The link budget performance is achieved by fully characterizing the communication emittance energy and evaluating performance metrics against varying, user defined models and limitations.

Infinite Node Simulation
Next generation satellite constellations and Joint All Domain Command and Control (C2) are some of the most complex systems the world will rely upon for everyday life. Building a large simulation environment capable of modeling these systems will require a unique scalability not regularly (or easily) achieved. Using ACORN simulation framework and Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Redwire has demonstrated more than 4,000 ACORN nodes simultaneously in a cloud-based environment. Each ACORN node is individually configurable at the component, sub-component, and even data bus traffic at a bit level detail. This functionality allows users to model the most complex systems at the highest level of fidelity.
