Our Cyber & Supply Chain Certification Programs
Trusted UGV
Trusted UGV sets clear, measurable standards for cybersecurity, supply chain integrity, and operational resilience. It provides the higher level of assurance expected by government and commercial users of uncrewed ground vehicles.
Green UAS
Green UAS certification assesses and verifies commercial drones meet the highest levels of cybersecurity and NDAA supply chain requirements through a security controls assessment and vulnerability and penetration test. The Green UAS cleared list of drones and components will meet the same levels of security requirements as the DIU’s Blue UAS 2.0 program.
