SpiderOak Wins Army Contract to Vet Drone Dominance Program Vendors
Reston, Va. – October 25, 2026 -- SpiderOak has won a contract from the Program Office for U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMO UAS) to run supply chain analysis and cybersecurity assessments for multiple vendors in the Army's Drone Dominance Program (DDP).
SpiderOak applies its ACTRA methodology to DDP platforms
As a Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Blue UAS Recognized Assessor, SpiderOak will use its Advanced Cyber Threat & Resilience Assessments (ACTRA) to test participating platforms for supply chain integrity, cyber resilience and compliance with U.S. Government security requirements.
The evaluations cover hardware, firmware, software and component provenance. They are designed to identify vulnerabilities and validate compliance with NDAA and NIST requirements before systems are fielded. For UAS programs, ACTRA also examines ownership structures and supports compliance with NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53 and Executive Order 14028.
