Advancing Fleet Readiness Through Secure Cloud Modernization — Cydecor’s Support of the SHARP-E Program

The Challenge:

The U.S. Navy’s Training and Readiness systems were at a crossroads: legacy applications hosted in outdated environments were limiting scalability, hindering compliance with evolving federal mandates, and slowing mission-critical updates to the Fleet. The affected systems directly support flight scheduling, training qualification tracking, and reporting—core functions that underpin readiness and deployment cycles. Failure to modernize would have impaired decision-making across squadrons and readiness managers, ultimately jeopardizing mission tempo and Fleet preparedness.

Cydecor's Solution:

Cydecor was entrusted to lead a strategic digital transformation under the SHARP-E program. As the original architects of several core applications, our team brought unmatched institutional knowledge and seamlessly transitioned legacy systems into resilient, cloud-native architectures. Leveraging secure, government-authorized cloud services and DevSecOps pipelines, Cydecor led the design and implementation of next-generation, cloud-compatible architectures—leveraging modern development frameworks, government-approved libraries, and scalable Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions.

Impact & Outcome:

  • Cost Savings: By refactoring applications into PaaS-compatible architectures, Cydecor has saved the Government hundreds of thousands in annual hosting and maintenance costs.
  • Mission Continuity: Our dedicated support team provides uninterrupted Fleet support with continuity and capability through modernization efforts, shipboard approvals (SHIPALT, SIT, RMMCO), and RMF cybersecurity protocols.
  • Enhanced Resilience: Delivering and maintaining cloud-based data synchronization tools within SHARP, Cydecor has had significant positive impact to the Navy’s ability to maintain timely and accurate readiness data for Afloat-to-Ashore operations.
  • Enduring Impacts: Our team of developers, cyber security experts, technologists, and retired aviators have leveraged substantial talent and more than two decades of intimacy to deliver scalability, security, and operational performance across the Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE).
  • Revolution in Readiness: With Cydecor’s initial delivery of SHARP, naval aviation readiness experienced a renaissance of what is possible within the Navy’s architecture—successes with Cydecor’s first instance of SHARP have rippled across aviation, aviation, aircraft carrier and Naval Special Warfare (NSW) communities to deliver tactical and strategic readiness details at the ready, all across the Fleet.

Long-Term Value:

The Navy now operates on a more resilient, efficient, and scalable infrastructure positioned for future evolutions. Cydecor’s performance reaffirmed its status as a trusted mission partner, driving sustained operational effectiveness and strengthening maritime superiority.
