Cyber Resiliency of Weapon Systems-ACS
Abstract
The Cyber Resiliency of Weapon Systems (CRWS) for Agile Combat Support (ACS) provides funding to increase weapon systems cyber resiliency/security in all phases and activities of the acquisition life cycle by accomplishing two goals. First, CRWS integrates cyber resiliency design tenets into the systems engineering process and builds cyber resiliency into weapon systems. Second, CRWS assesses and enables modifications of fielded systems to protect them from cyber exploitation. To meet these goals, this effort addresses cyber resiliency and security gaps in five projects. The first project increases cyber security and resiliency skills, knowledge, and experience of acquisitions personnel. The second project prototypes, evaluates, and transitions cyber secure and resilient risk-informed processes, tools, products, and policies into all phases of the acquisition life cycle and sustainment. The third project develops standards for designing new weapon systems by defining a government reference architecture, providing the capability to rapidly update weapon systems cyber components in response to new cyber threats, and allowing future weapon system designers the opportunity to use open system architectures. The fourth project addresses the security and resiliency of fielded weapons systems by designing mitigations strategies and prototyping solutions for known vulnerabilities. The final project systematically reviews Air Force weapons systems' mission sets and addresses gaps in mission assurance (such as a weapon system's critical subsystem and support systems) due to evolving cyber threats. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver CRWS capabilities. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0605826F, 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605830F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605898F, and 0605833F. This program is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
