UDS Registry
Hello Security. Goodbye Workarounds.
Before UDS Registry, delivery engineers had to stitch together multiple registries, tools, and workflows, creating delays, inconsistencies, and compliance risks. Now, they manage everything in one secure container registry built for mission environments.
With UDS Registry, teams pre-load mission-specific apps, control access by role, and deploy fully trusted packages—whether in cloud, on-prem, or in airgapped, edge systems. Everything needed for delivery is ready when the mission requires it.

Centralized Package Management
Gain a single source of truth by accessing all your UDS packages in one secure location, enabling version control, diverse image flavors (Upstream, Iron Bank, Unicorn), ARM64 and AMD64 support, comprehensive metadata and more. Tap into our intuitive search and discovery features to find relevant packages quickly.
Security First Architecture
Monitor vulnerabilities across packages with CVE tracking, including metadata preservation, compliance validation against DoW standards and vulnerability management to look for security risks before they start.
Flexible Distribution
Install only the packages you need for each scenario with customizable deployment features, contract-based access and permissions, as well as bundle creation for specific mission scenarios and deployments.
On-Prem Deployment
Access a single source of truth from one secure location, including version control, package tracking and history, edge support and the ability to reproduce, save and reuse deployment configurations.
Pre-Packaged, Tailored for Your Mission
Our engineers have curated over 30 applications that are ready to go, with near-zero CVE as a baseline. Explore our curated free selection to test drive UDS in action, and gain access to more with a paid license.
Application Integration
Our Developer hub is filled with information to get you started. For now, here are some answers to your most common questions.
WHAT IS A UDS PACKAGE?
Under the hood, UDS uses Zarf to package applications for airgap deployment, including all necessary metadata and dependencies. That means UDS packages are essentially Zarf packages with a few additional components.
Applications packaged for UDS integrate with the UDS Core runtime platform. That means, when you deploy a UDS app package, it will be working with all of the components of the UDS platform out-of-the-box:
- Service Mesh: Istio
- Identity & Access Manager (IDAM): Keycloak
- Security: Falco
- Backup: Velero
- Logging: Loki & Vector
- Monitoring: Prometheus Stack
- Dashboard: Grafana
Can I sole-source a contract to Defense Unicorns?
Yes. Defense Unicorns holds a SBIR Phase III IDIQ with GSA, which allows for sole-source task orders from DoD, DHS, and CISA for capabilities or technologies derived from our SBIR work.
What’s the advantage of using the SBIR Phase III vehicle?
SBIR Phase III allows you to bypass traditional competition, accelerating time-to-contract while meeting FAR compliance. It’s tailored for commercializing proven innovations from SBIR efforts.
