Cyber Security Research

Abstract

The Cyber Applied Research program focuses on innovative and sustained research in both cybersecurity and computer network operations by developing new concepts to harden key network and computer components, designing new and resilient cyber infrastructures, increasing the military’s ability to disrupt, fight and survive nation-state actors’ cyber-attacks, measuring the state of health in cybersecurity, exploring and exploiting 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 to meet Combatant Command (CCMD) 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.
