Community

One framework, shared across industry and government

ICD works because every participant uses the same agreements, repo, and starter kit. Pick your role and plug in.

Industry Contributors

Startups, SMEs, and primes who bring working code and want to keep ownership while delivering to mission programs.

  • License your modules under SW-ICD and keep proprietary components proprietary.
  • Reuse government-cleared modules without waiting months for CUI paperwork.

Government Programs

Program offices, labs, and acquisitions teams that need modular, reusable software with clear lineage.

  • Reference ICD to align with SHARE-IT mandates and reciprocity requirements.
  • Tap into the commons repo and mirror what you need into your enclaves.

Steering Body

Fifteen founding members representing government, industry, and academia who maintain the standards and roadmap.

  • Approve version updates to the ICD framework and licenses.
  • Prioritize new components for the commons and review compliance kits.
