Cyber Operations Technology Support
Abstract
US Cyber Command's (USCYBERCOM) mission is to deter or defeat strategic threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of the Joint Force Commander's objectives. In conjunction with the Services and Cyber Stakeholders, USCYBERCOM develops and expands capabilities/ tools to support Cyber Mission Forces (CMF). Following USCYBERCOM FY 2024 Enhanced Budgetary Control (FY 2022 NDAA, section 1507), USCYBERCOM assumed direct mission resource planning, programming, budgeting, and execution responsibilities from Service Cyber Components (SCCs) to train, equip, operate, and sustain Cyber Mission Forces. The Data & Sensors portfolio includes capabilities that identify indications or confirmation of a compromised cyberspace defense capability, to include CMF Cyber Protection Team (CPT) Deployable Mission Support Systems (DMSS). CPTs utilize DMSS equipment to conduct threat-focused, intelligence driven defensive cyberspace operations countering malicious cyberspace activities (MCA) and defending DoD Information Networks (DoDIN) and specified cyberspace terrain. Operating as dynamic maneuver forces, CPTs require portable, highly configurable, scalable tools to enable effective and efficient MCA hunt, clear, enable hardening, and threat assessment in the contested cyberspace environment. The dynamic nature of CPT defensive cyberspace operations (DCO) epitomizes the required flexibility offered by the BA-8 Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program. While Army PM DCO initiated USCYBERCOM’s sole FY 2024 BA-8 participation per implementation of USCYBERCOM FY 2024 Enhanced Budgetary Control (FY 2022 NDAA, section 1507), USCYBERCOM realigned all Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and USCYBERCOM DMSS procurement, O&M, and RDTE appropriation to BA-8 starting in FY 2025 to accomplish the following: optimize DCO platform and software development programming and budgeting flexibility to maintain comparative cyberspace advantage with respect to MCAs; standardize CPT equipment acquisition; mitigate acquisition delays; reduce overall DCO development lifetime costs; and accelerate deployment of critical defensive cyberspace systems/tools.
