Defensive CYBER Tool Development

Abstract

FY2022 Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) budget line provides funding for Program Executive Office Command Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) Cyber Situational Understanding (Cyber SU). Cyber Situational Understanding (Cyber SU) funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE), Common Operating Environment (COE). Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. This funding will be executed by Program Executive Office Command Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T). DCO and Tactical DCO Infrastructure (TDI) funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE, Key Enabler for Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. DCO funding will be executed by Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS). TDI funding will be executed by PEO C3T. 655041CY5: - Cyber SU is a mission command application designed for use by maneuver commanders to assist in decision making during combat operations. Cyber SU provides maneuver commanders at Brigade to Army Service Component Command (ASCC) with a broad understanding of Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) threats by informing the commander of any cyber related impacts to physical domains, unified land operations, and the overall mission. Cyber SU allows for the visualization and understanding of physical (geographical), logical (at a specific network internet protocol), and cyber persona layers (bad actors, from individuals to nation states) of cyberspace. This is based on data/information from multiple sources and sensors that produce a CEMA overlay on the commander's Common Operational Picture (COP) within the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE). Supporting CEMA, Cyber SU ingests existing data sources from related programs (e.g, DCO, TDI, CPCE, EWPMT, UNO, DCGS-A), synchronizes and integrates blue (friendly), red (enemy), and grey (commercial/private sector data) and enables collaboration at the tactical edge. (PEO C3T) 655041EV5: - (Legacy) Tactical DCO Infrastructure (TDI) is a software-only program, which consists of pre-configured DCO tools residing on the Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI). The TDI capability will reside within the Command Post at echelon Corps through Brigade for both organic Cyber Network Defenders as well as remote access by Cyber Protection teams (CPT) to support defense of the Tactical Network. (PEO C3T) - Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) consists of platform and software programs which are key elements of the DCO Maneuver Baseline infrastructure, platform, and tools. The employment of defensive capabilities creates specific effects in cyberspace through actions that allow commanders to achieve the following objectives: deter, destroy, and defeat enemy offensive cyberspace operations; gain time; economy of force; control key terrain; protect tasked critical assets and infrastructure; and develop intelligence. DCO supports the Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), Army Cyberspace Operations and Integration Center (ACOIC), (5) Regional Cyber Centers (RCCs), Cyber Warfare Battalion (CWB), Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), Cyber Protection Brigade (CPB), and (41) Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) in COMPO 1/2/3.
