Cyber Security Advanced Technology Development

Abstract

Our military forces require resilient, reliable networks to conduct effective operations. However, the number and sophistication of threats in cyberspace are rapidly growing, making it urgent and critical to improve the cyber security of Department of Defense (DoD) networks to counter those threats and assure our missions. This program will incorporate projects in both cyber security and computer network operations to develop demonstrable capabilities to harden key network components, increase the military’s ability to fight and survive during cyber attacks, disrupt nation-state level attack planning and execution, measure the state of cyber security, and explore and exploit new ideas in cyber warfare. The Cyber Security Advanced Technology Development program element is budgeted in the advanced technology development budget activity because it will focus on the maturation of successful applied research results and their development into demonstrable advanced cyber capabilities. The Cyber Security Advanced Technology Development program will build on results of matured applied research from the Cyber Security Applied Research and other programs to develop technology demonstrations for potential transition into capabilities that support the full spectrum of computer network operations. This Defense-wide program element will address advanced persistent threats to fill DoD science and technology (S&T) gaps identified in key reports and studies conducted by DDR&E over the past year.
