Science Applications International Corp. and Defense Unicorns partnered to deliver secure, scalable, mission-critical software to the Defense Department.
SAIC will integrate Defense Unicorns’ Unicorn Delivery Service into its software ecosystem, simplifying application deployment and maintenance across cloud, on-premises, and tactical edge environments. The goal: improve warfighter readiness.
“SAIC is committed to providing our customers an innovative, integrated ecosystem of proven next-generation offerings and strategic partnerships that meet their unique mission needs and accelerate mission outcomes,” said Bob Ritchie, SAIC chief technology officer. “By leveraging UDS, we are reducing complexity and ensuring the government can rapidly and consistently deploy secure, scalable software applications across diverse and challenging operational environments.”
DOD uses software to support mission-critical operations across all domains. Traditional software delivery methods can be slow and complex, so defense customers need industry partners to bring solutions that address challenges like prolonged integration timelines and inconsistent security standards.
By adopting UDS as the standard software delivery platform, SAIC and Defense Unicorns will provide a secure, repeatable and portable solution to deploy applications across a diverse range of environments, the company said. UDS also automates deployment, accelerates compliance and removes integration barriers ⏤ enabling software teams to field mission-ready applications more efficiently and reduce software delivery timelines.
“This partnership is a game-changer for the DoD. By integrating SAIC’s mission expertise with the automation and security of UDS, we are revolutionizing how software is delivered at scale,” said Rob Slaughter, Defense Unicorns CEO. “Together, we are enabling warfighters to access the latest capabilities when and where they need them.”
