property="content:encoded"><p>After the Blue UAS refresh event earlier this month, <a href="https://www.diu.mil/latest/diu-leads-blue-uas-refresh-challenge-to-test-validate-uas-platforms-and">DIU announced that</a>, “Current Blue UAS companies that are not renewed have an opportunity to be added to AUVSI’s Green UAS list to continue selling to non-DOD government agencies and entities that require proof of NDAA compliance.”</p> <p>The AUVSI Advocacy team sat down with Casie Ocaña, Director of Trusted Programs and AUVSI’s point of contact with DIU’s autonomy team, to help us better understand what this means for secure drones.</p> <p><strong>Q: What exactly does DIU’s announcement about the Green UAS to Blue UAS pathway mean?</strong></p> <p><strong>A: </strong>AUVSI and DIU are collaborating on a critical, new pathway for manufacturers whose platforms were previously listed under Blue UAS but are not renewed during this refresh process.</p> <p>These companies can transition to AUVSI’s Green UAS Cleared List, which demonstrates NDAA compliance and will enable them to continue to sell to non-DoD government entities and other customers who require a verified level of security and trustworthiness.</p> <p><strong>Q: Walk us through exactly what is involved in verifying NDAA compliance and the difference between Blue UAS vs Green UAS.</strong></p> <p><strong>A: </strong>The Green UAS certification focuses on threats and risks in four assessment areas: corporate cyber hygiene, product and device security, remote operations and connectivity, and supply chain management. Each framework includes a set of security controls against which organizations and products are assessed and validated.</p> <p>The two frameworks that are required to show NDAA compliance for both Blue and Green include 1) Product and Device Security and 2) Supply Chain Risk Management.</p> <p>GreenUAS goes beyond NDAA Compliance by also validating a standard level of corporate cyber hygiene and verifying security of remote ops and connectivity.</p> <p><strong>Q: What does the Blue to Green process entail?</strong></p> <p><strong>A: </strong>Because these platforms have already undergone the rigorous BlueUAS certification process with DoD, the transitioning platforms will have their testing results verified and transferred to GreenUAS.</p> <p>Once enrolled, these platforms will maintain their NDAA compliance and seamlessly transition into continuous monitoring, ensuring ongoing security oversight.</p> <p>They will be required to complete the additional two frameworks, Corporate Cyber Hygiene and Remote Operations and Connectivity, within 12 months or sooner to maintain compliance with the GreenUAS certification.</p> <p><strong>Q: Based on the Refresh event at Twentynine Palms, we’re anticipating that the updated Blue UAS list will have fewer platforms than the current list. Why is that?</strong></p> <p><strong>A: </strong>Maintaining the Blue UAS list is a resource-intensive process for the DoD. Each UAS platform undergoes rigorous testing and certification to meet stringent cybersecurity, supply chain, and operational performance standards tailored to DoD missions.</p> <p>Beyond initial vetting, the DoD dedicates significant resources to continuous monitoring and compliance efforts, ensuring platforms remain secure and aligned with evolving defense policies and emerging threats.</p> <p>The primary purpose of the Blue UAS list is to support DoD-specific requirements, providing warfighters with secure, trusted platforms designed for critical national security missions.</p> <p>DoD is focused on aligning the Blue list with its mission-specific priorities while optimizing resource allocation. This reduction in platforms reflects a strategic decision to concentrate the list on technologies that directly address the DoD’s highest-priority operational scenarios, rather than indicating any deficiencies in the removed platforms.</p> <p><strong>Q: What about drones that are no longer included on the updated Blue UAS list?</strong></p> <p><strong>A:</strong> These platforms may still meet rigorous security and compliance standards, making them suitable for a variety of non-DoD applications. Their removal reflects the DoD’s need to streamline the list to align with its evolving priorities.</p> <p>These platforms remain valuable options for government agencies, public safety organizations, and other users seeking secure, high-performing solutions for critical operations.</p> <p>This approach ensures that while the DoD focuses its resources on mission-specific needs, other sectors can continue to benefit from proven, trusted technologies.</p> <p><strong>Q: Bottom line, why does the Blue UAS to Green UAS pathway matter?</strong></p> <p><strong>A:</strong> By offering this pathway, Green UAS bridges the gap between government security requirements and the broader market needs, ensuring platforms can continue to thrive in civilian and non-DoD public sector applications.</p> <p>Green UAS provides an alternate route for secure platforms to continue to demonstrate compliance with NDAA provisions and other key security standards, reaffirming their trustworthiness for a broad range of applications.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field--name-field-tile-image field--type-image field--label-hidden"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item even"><picture >
