Ampex and Secturion Eliminate The Secure Data Bottleneck At The Tactical Edge
April 14, 2026
The Department of Defense has a data problem. Modern sensors are generating EW, ISR, EOIR, and mission data faster than legacy systems can capture and secure it. Until now, encrypting massive data pipelines to NSA High Assurance (Type 1) standards at the edge required a trade-off: sacrifice speed or SWaP-C.
That tradeoff is over.
Ampex Data Systems and Secturion Systems have entered into a strategic teaming agreement to deliver the market’s only fully integrated, uncompromised secure data capability. By combining Ampex’s highest-in-class ruggedized data capture with Secturion’s highest-in-class hardware encryption, the team is delivering end-to-end data security at operational line speed.
The combined capability captures, processes, stores, hosts, and secures high-value data at speeds up to 400 Gbps+. Secturion’s NSA Type 1 certified encryptors operate with near-zero latency, making the encryption invisible to the mission.
Both companies are 100% U.S.-owned with controlled, trusted supply chains, offering security that meets the highest classification requirements: FIPS 197/AES-256, FIPS-140, CSfC, and NSA Type 1.
“Ampex delivers the highest data capture rates in the market in a fully ruggedized package. Secturion delivers the highest encryption rates in the market at NSA Type 1. We’re not two companies bolting something together. We’re the best at what we do on both sides of the data problem, and now we’re one team. If you need to capture and protect the most sensitive data the DoD produces, at speed, on platform, in the most demanding environments, this is where you come.”
– Nick Duran, VP and General Manager, Ampex Data Systems
“This partnership represents a uniquely powerful synergy in the market. By combining Ampex’s expertise in ruggedized data capture with our advanced hardware encryption, we seamlessly bridge the gap between collecting mission-critical data and securing it.”
– Josh Falslev, Chief Operating Officer, Secturion Systems
