Radiance Technologies senior vice president Tom Strange said the partnership will provide cyber technologies that will eventually help ensure national security.

Technical requirements of the ACT programme include rapid research and development, design, prototyping, demonstration, scenario development, experimentation and evaluation, integration, testing, technical installation, transition, as well as support through initial operations of cyber technologies.
