Altana for Defense Acquisition & Sustainment

Accelerate trusted procurement.
Strengthen the industrial base.

Defense needs to field trusted capability faster and at greater scale, and policy increasingly requires tracing critical components to their raw material origins and vetting suppliers at every tier. Yet assessments start from zero every cycle, stop at Tier 1 or Tier 2, and miss the shared suppliers and chokepoints that put readiness at risk.

Altana connects defense leaders, assessors, and manufacturers on one network to certify trusted components once, keep them trusted as supply chains change, and collaborate with the industrial base behind every program.

Three shifts that change how Defense secures its supply chains

  • From point-in-time submissions → persistent product intelligence

    Certify a component once, carry it across programs, and monitor it for change.

  • From Tier 1 attestations → multi-tier value chains, verified with suppliers across the network

    See the components, facilities, and ownership behind every platform.

  • From reactive analysis → resilient supply

    Pinpoint chokepoints and long-lead components across programs, and get recommended alternative suppliers, inventory buffers, and order strategies before disruptions affect readiness.

How it works

How it works

Accelerate procurement

Certify once

Manufacturers trace their multi-tier value chains with suppliers and share them with assessors as Product Passports. AI screens every tier for prohibited components, foreign ownership, and adversary exposure, and assessors make the decision.

Monitor continuously

Certified components carry across platforms and programs, and AI flags any material change.

Act on exceptions only

Future procurement references the certified Passport instead of restarting review, so assessors focus on what’s new, changed, or risky.

Map dependencies

Map the networks behind your programs to surface shared suppliers, critical materials, and chokepoints.

Stress-test readiness

Model what happens if a supplier, facility, or country goes offline.

Act on what you find

Qualify recommended alternative suppliers, set inventory buffers by component criticality, and time long-lead orders, all coordinated with manufacturers through their value chains and Product Passports.

Industrial base resilience summary in Altana

One intelligence base for procurement and readiness

Speed and security aren’t a tradeoff. With 50–80% of components shared across drone platforms, every certification makes the next one faster, and every verified value chain sharpens the picture of the industrial base. Risks that no single certification would catch surface across the portfolio, where you can act on them with the manufacturers and suppliers involved.

More trusted components → faster procurement → a clearer view of the industrial base → stronger readiness.

The network

Powered by an AI network

No defense agency or program office can verify its industrial base alone. Manufacturers and their suppliers trace and verify their value chains on Altana, then share them with assessors and program offices as Product Passports. By connecting to the network, you don’t just get data about suppliers. You receive verified product information from the industrial base itself, ready to review, and components verified for one program carry forward to the next.

That activity, along with 8 of the world’s 10 largest logistics providers operating on Altana, powers Altana’s Supply Chain Graph: 141M supply chain linkages, roughly half of them from industry operations on the network and available nowhere else. Fuse your own data inside your dedicated environment, and every validation and resolution makes the picture more complete.

Built for sensitive defense missions

FedRAMP High authorized on AWS GovCloud, sponsored by U.S. Space Force, for sensitive unclassified missions including defense acquisition and sustainment.

Customer Spotlight

AUVSI increased compliance authorization throughput 60x

Drone Dominance requires authorization at a scale traditional platform-by-platform reviews cannot support. During Gauntlet 1, manufacturers traced their multi-tier value chains on Altana, AI screened every tier for NDAA compliance and FOCI risks, and AUVSI assessed 30+ platforms in two weeks.

60x

compliance authorization throughput

86.5%

of identified exposure at Tier 3 or deeper, hidden from the prior process

50–80%

component overlap across platforms

how often value chains change, so point-in-time certification isn't enough

“Integrating Altana’s AI-powered supply chain intelligence into our vetting programs strengthens real-time risk visibility and secures robotics, autonomy, and uncrewed systems for critical missions. This ensures U.S. field systems we can trust, without delay.”
