Cyber Security Research
Abstract
United States military forces require resilient and reliable networks, information, and weapons systems to conduct effective operations. However, the number and sophistication of threats in cyberspace are rapidly growing, making it critical to improve the cybersecurity of all Department of Defense (DoD) systems to counter those threats and assure the Department's missions. The Cyber Applied Research program focuses on innovative and sustained research in both cybersecurity and computer network operations to: develop new concepts to harden key network and computer components, design new and resilient cyber infrastructures, increase the military’s ability to disrupt, fight and survive nation-state actors’ cyber-attacks, measure the state of health in cybersecurity, and explore and exploit new ideas in cyber warfare for agile cyber operations and mission assurance, along with the ability to protect tactical networks, weapons systems and platforms. This program is unique in that it integrates both the defensive and offensive cyber research from each of the Services to develop interoperable, defense-wide technology options targeted to meet Combatant Command needs and requirements. More specifically, by increasing cross-laboratory collaboration, this program is able to take Service-specific technologies and expand their applications to the Joint Force.
