SpiderOak has secured a contract with the U.S. Army's Program Office for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (PMO UAS) to perform supply chain and cybersecurity evaluations for vendors in the Drone Dominance Program (DDP).

This program, initiated in February 2026, focuses on enhancing small UAS capabilities through a multi-phase assessment process. SpiderOak, recognized as a Blue UAS Assessor, will implement its Advanced Cyber Threat & Resilience Assessments (ACTRA) methodology to ensure compliance with U.S. security standards and evaluate platform integrity. Initial testing at Fort Benning included 25 vendors, aiming to select up to 12 for mass production of UAS systems, with targets reaching hundreds of thousands by 2028.
