Business Focus:
Varada Defense is a defense technology company delivering agile, secure, and advanced solutions for the modern warfighter. We engineer cohesive network architectures, deploy mission-ready cloud environments, and field AI-enabled tools that strengthen the lethality, survivability, and decision dominance of U.S. and allied forces. Headquartered in Northern Virginia, Varada Defense is a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) that provides mission-ready IT and cyber solutions for the Department of Defense and federal agencies. We specialize in automation-driven cloud infrastructure, DevSecOps, Zero Trust cybersecurity, AI and machine learning analytics, and agile software delivery for enterprise and edge operations. From fully connected to disconnected, denied, and contested environments, Varada Defense enables the military to move fast, operate securely, and maintain control from headquarters to the FOB to the fight.

Products/Services:
Varada Defense delivers field-proven technologies including BEDDE, BEDDE-IHX, SoftwareX, JIVA360, and Limber that form a cohesive ecosystem to automate secure infrastructure, accelerate software deployment, and unify mission data for cross-domain intelligence. These capabilities enable defense and intelligence organizations to deploy faster, defend smarter, and maintain mission continuity anywhere operations occur, on land, at sea, in the air, or in the cloud. BEDDE enables rapid, one-click deployment of secure and scalable environments wherever the mission demands, whether connected, disconnected, or at the tactical edge. Validated in austere and contested conditions, BEDDE ensures reliable performance for C5ISR and mission systems without the need for on-site specialists. BEDDE-IHX extends this capability by combining BEDDE automation with a lightweight and portable infrastructure solution designed for rapid deployment and sustainment in the field. It delivers cloud-like functionality to remote or denied environments, allowing operators to establish resilient and mission-ready networks instantly and maintain continuity under any condition. SoftwareX is a portable Software Factory that automates secure software development, integration, and deployment across all domains. It streamlines the provisioning of compliant pipelines, containerization of GOTS and COTS applications, and rapid delivery of new capabilities from enterprise to edge. JIVA360 is an AI-powered data intelligence platform that fuses information from sensors, command-and-control tools, and operational systems into a unified, cross-domain common operating picture. It delivers real-time insights and predictive analytics that enhance situational awareness and decision dominance, even in degraded or disconnected environments. Limber is an intelligent agile management platform that integrates with Jira to automate project tracking, reporting, and resource visibility. Designed for complex defense portfolios, Limber strengthens DevSecOps execution and accelerates delivery across mission programs.
