# DoW Lists Lantronix Module in Blue UAS Framework

Lantronix announced on October 1, 2026, that its Open-Q 8550CS System-on-Module was added to the Department of War’s Blue UAS Framework following a Defense Contract Management Agency cybersecurity and supply-chain review. For drone OEMs and integrators pursuing U.S. government and defense programs, the listing may reduce component qualification effort when evaluating the module. It is a product qualification, not a contract award or a guarantee of future business.

- Drone OEMs and integrators can evaluate the listed module as a component option for government and defense UAS designs; the signal does not establish that it satisfies every program-specific requirement.
- Procurement teams should distinguish framework listing from a procurement commitment: no contract value, solicitation, or award is identified.
- Lantronix’s announcement may make the module more relevant to component sourcing discussions where cybersecurity and supply-chain review are considerations.
