Data and Unified Platform

Abstract

Unified Platform (UP) provides U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) the Cyber Mission Forces and Service cyber components a Joint cyber operations infrastructure enabling full spectrum cyberspace operations at the operational through tactical levels of warfare as part of USCYBERCOM's Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA). USCYBERCOM requires an interconnected and interoperable cyber infrastructure to conduct integrated planning and execution of cyberspace operations to meet Combatant Commanders’ requirements. UP delivers this capability through the integration of disparate firing platforms, existing or evolving systems, infrastructure, mission capabilities, data analytics, and programs used for military cyberspace operations to build on interoperable and scalable network for cyber capabilities. UP allows the DoD to achieve and maintain decision and operational superiority which is key to success within the dynamic cyberspace domain. UP Foundational Efforts provide for the research, development, prototype maturation, integration, enhancement, delivery, and enduring product support of the UP capability to ensure responsiveness to warfighter requirements within operationally relevant timeframes. With the government as the lead integrator, UP Foundational Efforts provide a flexible, yet disciplined, agile development/security/operations (DevSecOps) capability to generate new capabilities, integrate existing and emerging technologies, incorporate rapid prototyping efforts, and evolve the UP baseline on an iterative basis. UP Foundational efforts include both the management of the DevSecOps capabilities which includes systems engineering, risk management, contracting, test, and program management, as well as the active research and capability development to be conducted for the UP baseline. UP directly supports the Joint Network Attack Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), the National Military Strategy for Cyberspace Operations (NMS-CO), USCYBERCOM operational directives, the latest MAJCOM Offensive Cyberspace Operations System Flight Plan, and other formal requirements documents. This program element includes non-USCYBERCOM civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver existing or emergent support weapon system capability in accordance with USCC MOA with US Air Force.
