The Problem
Defense and aerospace systems require software with provable correctness, minimal attack surface, and full traceability. Commercial MQTT brokers built on hundreds of dependencies cannot pass security accreditation. Their SBOMs alone take weeks to review.
How RelayQ Solves This
Zero dependencies = minimal accreditation scope. The entire SBOM is one line. No transitive dependencies to evaluate, no third-party code to audit.
Formal verification evidence. Independent mathematical verification of protocol correctness and concurrency safety provides evidence that maps to DO-178C verification objectives.
Memory safe by construction. Rust eliminates buffer overflows and use-after-free — the vulnerability classes that dominate CVE databases for C/C++ network software.
Key Features for Defense
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Zero runtime dependencies | Minimal accreditation scope |
| Formal verification | Evidence for DO-178C / MIL-STD-882 |
| 826KB static binary | Fits on constrained tactical hardware |
| Default-deny ACL | Enforce need-to-know at the topic level |
| IP allowlist | Only authorized endpoints can connect |
| Audit logging | Append-only evidence trail |
| Air-gap ready | Non-TLS build has zero external code |
Deployment
- Tactical edge: Static binary on ruggedized ARM hardware
- Ground station: systemd service with mTLS
- Shipboard/airborne: Embedded in mission systems (OEM license)
