// 01 · CERTIFICATION REGISTER
The procurement officer's working copy. Each panel names the standard, the audit body, the last assessment date, the scope, and the artifact you can request on letterhead.
Department of Defense Standard Practice for System Safety. Our Athena middleware and USV autonomy stack are certified against the 882E task hazard-analysis workflow, with a Hazard Tracking System (HTRL) maintained in the loop on every program of record.
Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification. Athena's flight-critical modules are designed and verified to Design Assurance Level B, with independent tool-qualification per DO-330 and traceability through the requirements baseline.
Capability Maturity Model Integration. Our engineering pipeline is appraised at CMMI-DEV v2.0 Maturity Level 3 across all 20 process areas, with defined institutional processes for requirements, configuration, measurement, and risk.
Information Security Management Systems. Cyberdyne holds an accredited ISO 27001:2022 certification covering the full Statement of Applicability, including Annex A controls for classified handling, secure development, and supplier relationships.
Sensor Open Systems Architecture protocol compliance. Our middleware publishes and consumes STK and SOSPA-conformant interfaces, allowing plug-and-prime substitution with any other vendor on the SOSPA reference implementation without recompilation of mission code.
Cyberdyne is a founding member of the Open Mission Systems (OMS) consortium and an active contributor to the Autonomy Stack Working Group at the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). Our CTO chairs the OMS conformance review board for the maritime track.

// 02 · WHY THESE STANDARDS
A non-engineering program manager needs to know what passing these standards prevents — in operational terms, not in compliance jargon.
CHAPTER I
A program that fails 882E cannot field a platform that operates near people, ports, or partnered forces. The standard forces a documented hazard analysis before a single line of autonomy code is written, then traces every mitigation back to a test. Passing it means a contracting officer can field the system alongside allied crews without accepting undisclosed residual risk.
PREVENTS Undocumented hazards reaching the operational test window.
CHAPTER II
Level B is the assurance level required when a software failure would cause a “major” but not catastrophic condition on an aircraft — the band where most tactical unmanned systems sit. Passing it means every requirement, every line of code, and every test case is traceable bidirectionally, and the toolchain used to verify the code is itself qualified.
PREVENTS Unverifiable code reaching the flight-control computer.
CHAPTER III
The 2022 revision realigns the standard with how software supply chains actually fail: through third-party components, through development pipelines, and through supplier access. Our certification covers the Annex A controls that govern classified handling, secure development environments, and supplier relationships — the controls a source-selection memo cites by clause number.
PREVENTS Adversarial access through the software supply chain.
