Commercial Software’s virtual test & evaluation range
the clearer, faster path to authorization
Selling software to the Department of War (DOW) doesn’t have to mean rebuilding your business around compliance. UDS Proving Ground gives commercial software vendors a guided path to package, scan, validate, generate evidence, and demonstrate capabilities in a representative sandbox environment. Your team saves time and money while avoiding the cost of building the entire process alone.

get military-Network-ready
Use a repeatable packaging, scanning, and validation pipeline to get your software in front of DOW authorizing officials faster.
package once. reach further.
Create one portable software package designed for deployment across different DoW environments, without maintaining a separate delivery pipeline for each.
Focus on Product, Not Paperwork
Automated scans and compliance artifact generation free your team to invest in product features, not security documentation.
The Reality
the cost of proving compliance Is a Barrier to Entry
For commercial software vendors, delivering to the DOW isn’t just a new market to enter; it’s a new operating model.
Traditional authorization paths demand months of security engineering, documentation, and manual evidence collection. For many vendors, the required time, expertise, and cost put the DOW out of reach.
