Defensive CYBER Tool Development

Abstract

These funding lines are key enablers/direct supporters of the Army Modernization Strategy. FY2024 Defensive Cyber Tool Development budget line provides funding for Program Executive Office Command Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) Cyber Situational Understanding (Cyber SU) and Tactical DCO Infrastructure (TDI) as well as Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) DCO Development Environment (formerly Forge). 655041CY5: - Cyber Situational Understanding (Cyber SU) is a software only, mission command application within the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE) designed for use by maneuver commanders at the tactical level (Brigade to Army Service Component Command (ASCC)) to enable analytics, visualization, understanding and decision making to counter Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) threats in multi-domain operations. This funding will be executed by PEO C3T. 655041EV5: - 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), Information Warfare Operations Center (IWOC), (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. DCO Development Environment (DCODE) is both physical and/or virtual assets that provide integration and assessment capabilities during the development and integration phases of operations. These assets are centrally managed in order to provide accountability, modernization, standardization, software updating and patching and security posture in order to maintain the Authority to Operate (ATO). This funding will be executed by PEO EIS. 655041XU3: - TDI is a software only program that consists of pre-configured DCO applications that enable local and remote Cyber defenders to conduct cyberspace surveillance, and maneuver against an adversary traversing within the tactical network. The TDI capability is hosted on the Army's Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) and will reside within the Command Post at the tactical level (Brigade to Army Service Component Commands (ASCC)). This funding will be executed by PEO C3T.
