JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2025-- Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a global leader in space and defense technology solutions, today announced a major version release of Acorn 2.0, its advanced modeling and simulation software to support the rapid mission concept development and analysis needs of aerospace and defense customers.

Built on Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA), Acorn 2.0 harnesses the power of agent-based modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve complex problems that may exceed the capacity of static modeling tools. With agent-based architecture, Acorn 2.0 offers aerospace and defense customers the ability to rapidly simulate and validate prospective solutions including hybrid architectures; meshed networks; multi-domain operations; virtual, cyber, test, and evaluation ranges; high-fidelity spacecraft communications; and supply chain digital twins.

Key advantages of Acorn 2.0 include:

• Accelerated and interactive simulation modes
• Rapid integration and test (in-the-loop/hybrid architectures; heterogeneous agents)
• Offensive/defensive cyber and vulnerability assessments and analysis
• Dynamic, interactive, and immersive user experience
• Compatible with existing artificial intelligence and modeling and simulation tools and agents

“Acorn 2.0 represents a significant advancement in modeling and simulation capabilities for aerospace and defense customers that are tackling some of the most complex missions in space,” said Tom Campbell, President of Redwire Space Missions. “We recognize the challenges of large space-based architectures—from satellite constellations to layered defense systems—require robust domain-specific digital engineering systems and through Acorn 2.0 we are excited to deliver these solutions to our customers.”

Redwire has already begun Acorn 2.0 software deployments for select customers. Redwire recently announced a contract with DeepSat, an Earth observation startup, that will leverage Acorn 2.0 and in-orbit AI to support the architectural design and performance optimization of their satellite constellation.
