A drone fleet authenticated through a contested-airspace exercise.
50,000-unit swarm, ground-station unreachable for the duration of the mission.
Outcome: Mission completed. Authentication held. No operational degradation.
[PLACEHOLDER CASE STUDY] [CUSTOMER NAME] is a [DRONE OEM / DEFENCE INTEGRATOR] operating a [50,000-unit] swarm under contested-airspace conditions. Prior to deploying EdSSA Nano, the operator authenticated drones via [SCMS-style PKI / mTLS to ground-station authority]. Under jamming, this authentication path went unreachable, which forced the swarm into a degraded mode the operator was uncomfortable with.
EdSSA Swarm bootstraps each member of the swarm at deployment time. After bootstrap, no further communication to a ground authority is required for any drone-to-drone, drone-to-ground, or drone-to-infrastructure authentication. The swarm authenticates as a swarm — the threshold-based identity holds even when a fraction of swarm members are jammed, lost, or compromised.
In a [SIX-HOUR / TWELVE-HOUR / 48-HOUR] exercise simulating contested-airspace conditions, ground-station reachability was unavailable for [X HOURS] of the mission window. The EdSSA Swarm authentication path stayed continuously available throughout. Mission objectives were completed. Post-exercise log analysis confirmed no authentication degradation.

EdSSA Swarm is now part of the operator's standard mission-profile authentication stack.
