SpiderOak has won a new contract from the U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMO UAS) that will see it perform supply chain analysis and cybersecurity assessments for multiple vendors participating in the U.S. Army’s Drone Dominance Program (DDP).

SpiderOak will apply its Advanced Cyber Threat & Resilience Assessments (ACTRA) methodology to evaluate participating platforms for supply chain integrity, cyber resilience, and compliance with U.S. Government security requirements. The effort supports the Army’s push to rapidly field secure, low-cost, unmanned aerial systems at scale.

Through this contract, SpiderOak will conduct deep technical evaluations across hardware, firmware, software, and component provenance. The assessments are designed to identify vulnerabilities, validate compliance with NDAA and NIST requirements, and help program stakeholders make informed risk decisions before systems are fielded.

“As unmanned systems scale across modern operations, the integrity of their cyber and supply chain foundations becomes mission critical. We are honored to support PMO UAS and the Drone Dominance Program by delivering independent, technically rigorous assessments that help ensure these platforms can be trusted in contested environments,” Kip Gering, CEO of SpiderOak, said in a statement.
