Space system TT&C monitoring includes analyzing network traffic comprising of data packets between a front-end processor (FEP) and a cryptographic unit. A JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object is created when the network traffic containing a vehicle command is detected. The JSON object is transmitted, by way of a data transport mechanism, to either a cyber defense module or a security information and event management (SIEM) module for further ingestions and visualization. The JSON object is analyzed using machine learning (ML) module or a rule-based intrusion detection system (IDS) module to generate an anomaly score for the SIEM module for further ingestions and visualization.

Monitoring the integrity of a space vehicle

An adaptive scaling processor operates in combination with a conventional automatic gain control controller providing an amplification gain A to m-ary symbol-modulated communication signals, the scaling processor scaling by a scaling factor Z the m-ary communication signal for providing an over all gain of an (A)(Z) product minimizing the BER that is optimum for the communications channel for improved BER performance in communication systems.
