Neya Systems was awarded an RTC Contract to develop and demonstrate advanced path planning and maneuver selection technologies for high speed off-road unmanned ground vehicles. The Adaptive & Modular Multi Terrain Mobility Planner (AM3P) is a set of planning and simulation technologies focused on addressing the use of high fidelity terrain and kinodynamic vehicle models to enable high speed navigation. In this effort, Neya is working with Jet Propulsion Lab and Carnegie Mellon University to develop open-architecture based planning tools that can be integrated across a wide variety of existing and planned Unmanned Ground Vehicles. The AM3P system provides high-speed inertial maneuver planning and control within complex terrain while adapting to dynamically changing mission-dictated mobility constraints and objectives.
Tucker Arensberg, P.C., a full-service law firm with offices across Pennsylvania, is pleased to announce a significant expansion of its Charleston, West Virginia office with the addition of 13 experienced litigation attorneys and six staff members. This strategic growth strengthens the firm’s presence in West Virginia and significantly enhances its litigation capabilities across a wide range of practice areas.
The expansion brings a deep bench of trial-tested litigators with extensive experience representing governmental entities, corporations, and healthcare providers in complex matters in both state and federal courts. The group also provides consulting, training, employee audits, investigations, and guidance to public officials and governmental entities.
Joining the firm as shareholders in the Charleston office are Drannon Adkins, Chris Ferro, John Fuller, Wendy Greve, Jordan Herrick, Jacob Layne, James Muldoon, Evan Olds, Lori Streets Muldoon, and Jennifer Tully. Each brings substantial experience in litigation, including civil rights defense, governmental liability, employment litigation, and complex tort matters.
Also joining the firm are Andrew Herrick and David Shuman, Jr. as Litigation Senior Counsel, and Benjamin Vanston as a Litigation Associate.
This group’s collective experience spans a wide array of litigation matters, including defense of state, county, and municipal entities; civil rights and constitutional claims; employment and labor disputes; environmental and toxic tort litigation; healthcare and correctional defense; premises and automobile liability; and commercial litigation. Several attorneys also bring significant trial experience, having handled complex cases involving wrongful death, use of force, and high-exposure claims.
In addition to the attorneys, Tucker Arensberg welcomes a highly experienced team of legal professionals, including Martha Mills, Brittany Scott, Jody Zubrzycki (Legal Assistants), and Niki Hyatt, Tonya Engle, and Stacie King (Paralegals). This group has worked alongside many of the attorneys for more than a decade and brings extensive litigation support experience across multiple practice areas, including asbestos, workers’ compensation, and general civil litigation.
“This is an exciting and meaningful expansion for our firm,” said Irving Firman, Managing Shareholder. “The addition of this talented group significantly strengthens our litigation platform in West Virginia and enhances our ability to serve clients facing complex legal challenges. Their depth of experience aligns seamlessly with our existing capabilities and strategic growth goals.”
With this expansion, Tucker Arensberg continues to build on its commitment to providing sophisticated, client-focused legal services.
Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), an independent, nonprofit, applied scientific research and development organization supporting U.S. government and critical infrastructure missions, has partnered with Quantum Knight Inc., a U.S.-Based advanced cybersecurity technology developer delivering post-quantum cryptography and software-based data protection solutions for government and critical infrastructure. This partnership will help accelerate deployment of post-quantum cybersecurity protections across federal, defense, and industrial systems.
The partnership enables CTC to support certification, integration, and deployment of Quantum Knight’s CLEAR™ cryptosystem software, a lightweight, software-based encryption platform designed to secure sensitive data and communications against emerging threats from nation-state adversaries, artificial intelligence, and future quantum computing capabilities, while identifying the environments where it can be applied most effectively.
As quantum computing advances, many widely used encryption methods are expected to become vulnerable, placing power grids, water systems, transportation networks, medical technology, and industrial control systems at increased risk. CLEAR (Computational Layer for Encrypted Access Restriction) is built to meet NIST post-quantum cryptography requirements while providing immediate protection for operational environments that cannot tolerate downtime or hardware replacement.
At the core of CLEAR is Quantum Knight’s patented HyperKey™ technology, a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module that runs entirely in software. Unlike traditional security architectures that rely on external authentication servers, hardware modules, or blockchain networks, HyperKey™ enables endpoints to verify identity, control access, and encrypt data directly, reducing attack surface and eliminating single points of failure. The system supports ultra-low latency communications and encryption strength up to 10,240-bit symmetric equivalence, while deploying in minutes on existing infrastructure.
This approach allows security to be added to legacy and mission-critical systems without redesign, making it suitable for environments such as RF communications, satellites, drones, IoT devices, AI databases, and industrial control networks.
“Post-quantum cybersecurity is no longer theoretical. Adversaries are already targeting infrastructure that was never designed for modern cyber warfare,” said Edward J. Sheehan Jr., President and CEO of CTC. “Our role as a non-profit, is to identify and deliver technologies that are ready for real-world deployment, and this partnership reflects that mission.”
