Science Applications International Corp. and Defense Unicorns formed a strategic partnership to increase the delivery of secure, scalable and mission-critical software capabilities for the Defense Department.
SAIC will integrate Defense Unicorns’ Unicorn Delivery Service into its existing software delivery ecosystem to streamline how it deploys and maintains applications across cloud, on-premises and tactical edge environments, the company said. The goal is to improve operational readiness for warfighters.
“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.”
The DOD leverages 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.”
