AS585

AS585 is a legacy autonomous system number registered under ARIN to "Air Force Systems Networking," a U.S. Air Force / Department of Defense registrant entity (ARIN handle 7ESG), with the administrative, technical, and abuse contact role assigned to DISA-Columbus (handle REGIS10-ARIN, 300 North James Road, Whitehall, OH). The registrant's mailing address is 501 East Moore Dr., Bldg 884 Rm 1100, Gunther Annex, Maxwell AFB, Alabama — the same registrant profile seen on sibling ASN AS584 (GDSS-23AF-AS). The AS name, GDSS-322ALD-AS, plausibly references the Global Decision Support System (GDSS), Air Mobility Command's command-and-control platform for airlift and air-refueling mission planning, reportedly maintained since 1992 by Boeing subsidiary Tapestry Solutions; however no first-party ARIN or USAF document ties this specific ASN to that program by name, so the link is treated as plausible rather than confirmed. The registry status is active, but AS585 is not currently routed: RIPEstat and CAIDA agree on zero announced IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes, zero visible RIS peers (0 of 325 v4, 0 of 322 v6), and a customer cone limited to the ASN itself. There is no PeeringDB net record and no publicly documented peering policy, consistent with a closed, non-commercial DoD network. No notable public abuse signal was found as of 2026-07-11.

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-11 — no dedicated AbuseIPDB ASN page, Spamhaus listing, or NANOG-archive thread specific to AS585; sourced-absence finding, not a clean-record certification, consistent with a restricted DoD network rather than commercial transit/hosting [Likely] — https://www.spamhaus.org/blocklists/spamhaus-blocklist/, https://www.abuseipdb.com/, https://archive.nanog.org/list/archives.html

Network & routing

Network type

Government/military (U.S. Air Force / DoD); not a commercial ISP or carrier — no PeeringDB net record found [Confirmed] — https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/585 (404)

Size

dormant — 0 IPv4 prefixes / 0 IPv4 addresses, 0 IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS585, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/585

Routing/peering

NOT announced — 0 of 325 RIS peers see v4 routes, 0 of 322 see v6; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); no PeeringDB entry, no public peering policy; bgp.he.net reports the ASN has not been visible in the global routing table since 2022-11-03, with its only historically associated prefix (1.22.128.0/24) flagged as an invalid/bogon route rather than a current legitimate origination

[Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS585, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/585, https://bgp.he.net/AS585

RPKI

not assessable — AS585 announces no prefixes, so RIPEstat's rpki-validation call was skipped (requires a prefix) and there are no ROAs to report [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS585

Notable usage

AS name GDSS-322ALD-AS plausibly ties to the Global Decision Support System (GDSS), Air Mobility Command's C2 system for airlift/air-refueling mission planning (maintained since 1992 by Boeing subsidiary Tapestry Solutions per trade press), but no first-party source confirms this specific ASN maps to that program; a separately-cited "~19,000 users at 261 locations" figure from an AI search summary of a USTRANSCOM PIA PDF was not independently confirmed and is left Unknown

Related ASNs

AS584 (GDSS-23AF-AS), and per a general Air Force Systems Networking search cluster, AS65/AS136/AS386/AS399/AS400 are neighboring same-operator-family ASNs, though this list was not individually RDAP-verified in this pass [Likely] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/584

Analyst note

Closed U.S. Air Force / DoD ASN, registry-active but not routed in the global BGP table, and per bgp.he.net has not been seen at all since 2022-11-03. Same registrant/admin structure as sibling AS584. No commercial website, no PeeringDB record — legitimate sourced nulls for a restricted government network, not research gaps.
