# U.S. Coast Guard Expands Cav Cyber Platform Fleetwide

The U.S. Coast Guard is expanding Cav’s Compliance OS from pilot projects aboard the icebreaker Storis and in enterprise IT to fleetwide deployment across ships, drones, shore installations, and aircraft. The platform is designed to automate and continuously monitor cybersecurity controls, including in classified and air-gapped environments. One reported operational-technology pilot reduced the authorization timeline by 90%; however, the contract value and deployment schedule have not been disclosed, and the announcements identify no open solicitation.

- For procurement teams, this is a market signal for continuous cyber-assurance capabilities across operational technology and enterprise environments, rather than a newly identified bidding opportunity.
- Contractors serving maritime, aviation, or other federal operational environments can evaluate whether their offerings support continuous control monitoring and classified or air-gapped deployments.
- Cav’s reported FedRAMP High authorization and the Coast Guard’s move from pilots to fleetwide use may inform agencies assessing similar cybersecurity platforms; the signals do not specify a procurement vehicle, award date, or schedule for further procurement.
