Cloud & Unified Platform

Abstract

Unified Platform provides U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Operational Forces 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). That infrastructure is a set of foundational capabilities that enable synchronization, integration, and interoperability for JCWA components. Specifically, Unified Platform delivers a tightly integrated suite of capabilities spanning common/core Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, data platform and associated standards, and common services to enable seamlessly integrated, adaptable, and evolving warfighting capabilities comprised of multiple JCWA components. -Common/core IT infrastructure includes compute and storage resources, data/message transport, and software development environment that enable rapid development and integration of applications, analytics, visualizations, and capabilities at speed and scale. -The data platform and associated standards is the integrated set of technologies, standards, and processes to ingest, store, share, enrich, manage, and analyze authoritative data sources in support of offensive and defense operations with intelligence and mission partners (to include private sector). -Common Services include capabilities such as identity management, common access, collaboration, modeling and communication capabilities that support integration, interoperability, and inter-program synchronization. USCYBERCOM requires an interconnected and interoperable infrastructure and set of data-centric capabilities to conduct integrated planning and execution of operations to achieve Combatant Commander prioritized outcomes in cyberspace. USCYBERCOM Operational Forces require the ability to conduct multiple, coordinated, integrated, joint cyberspace operations world-wide. The integrated suite of JCWA capabilities must enable operational forces to make timely decisions, take decisive action, and continually adapt to achieve overmatch against evolving, sophisticated, and motivated adversaries at speed and scale. Unified Platform will achieve its mission objectives through creation of a single, unifying cloud-based infrastructure for JCWA operational users and stakeholders that enables integration of cyber capabilities, systems, data storage and analytics in support of full-spectrum cyberspace operations. Foundational Efforts provide for the research, development, prototype maturation, integration, enhancement, delivery, and enduring product support of the Unified Platform capability to ensure responsiveness to warfighter requirements within operationally relevant timeframes. Foundational Efforts provide a flexible, yet disciplined, agile development/security/operations (DevSecOps) platform to generate new capabilities, integrate existing and emerging technologies, incorporate rapid prototyping efforts, and evolve the Unified Platform baseline to meet evolving operational priorities. Cross Domain Solution will deliver development and subject matter expertise to enable a scalable cross domain solution for JCWA based on industry best practices and requirements specified within National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) RTB Strategy’s Baseline, and National Security Memorandum (NSM)-8 “Improving the Cybersecurity of National Security, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community Systems."
