# Ibeos

> Ibeos designs and manufactures space-qualified avionics for missions from low Earth orbit to cislunar space, combining modular power systems, high-density batteries, flight and payload computers, custom engineering, and in-house qualification. Founded in 2013 as Cubic Aerospace, the Reston-area company built its pitch around bringing long-life, radiation-aware engineering to smaller satellites at shorter lead times and lower cost. Trident Solutions acquired Ibeos in March 2026, adding scale and networking products to the portfolio while keeping the Ibeos product line and customer programs operating.
