Militarily Critical Technology Support

Abstract

The Militarily Critical Technologies Program (MCTP) provides the development and implementation of DoD technology security policies on international transfers of defense related goods, services, and technologies: (1) Export Control Program: Provides an ongoing assessment and analysis of goods and technologies. Determines significant advances in the development, production, and use of military capabilities of potential adversaries. Determines goods and technologies being developed worldwide with potential to significantly enhance or degrade U.S. military capabilities in the future. Identified in the Export Administration Act of 1979 and extended by Presidential Directive to review militarily critical goods and technologies and to consider worldwide technology capabilities. Comprised of two sets of documents: a) Militarily Critical Technologies List (MCTL): Congressionally mandated source document for identification of leading edge and current technologies monitored worldwide for national security, nonproliferation control of weapons of mass destruction, and advanced conventional weapons. b) Developing Science & Technologies List (DSTL): Describes military and proliferation significance of future technologies. Specific activities include: - Develop and publish in electronic form (including Internet version, both restricted and public) various editions of the MCTL and DSTL documents that describe the military and proliferation significance of various technologies - Monitor and assess dual-use and military technologies worldwide. - Assist in the development of proposals for negotiation in various multilateral export control regimes. - Provide technical support for the review/revision of the U.S. Munitions List under the Defense Trade Security Initiative. - Provide analytical support for Congressional reports. - Continuous technical support to interdepartmental and international processes which develop multinational export control agreements on technologies of concern to DoD. - Worldwide technology capability assessments for the MCTL and other U.S. international critical technologies efforts. - Identification and determination of technical parameters for proposals for international control of weapons of mass destruction. - Technical assessments to support decisions on foreign ownership of U.S. industrial assets and treaty compliance inspections. - Identification of foreign technologies of interest to the DoD and opportunities for international cooperative research and development. - Identification of Homeland Defense and terrorism applications of militarily critical technologies. (2) The DoD Damage Assessment Management Office (DAMO) Program: The DAMO Program coordinates the impact assessments involving the loss of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) resulting from the illicit exfiltration of technical and programmatic data maintained on unclassified Defense Industrial Base (DIB) networks. The DAMO identifies and categorizes the impact of the loss of acquisition information contained on the affected systems, organizes and coordinate the assessments with the affected DoD component and DIB partner, prepares interim and final assessment reports, and establishes a process to appropriately share collected information with all affected components and DIB members. The DAMO provides a triage of data and technical assessments based on the MCTL and coordinates assessments and information across the Services/Programs. The DAMO establishes policy and procedures for conducting damage assessments applicable to all DoD components in concert with FAR and DFAR procedures pertaining to contracts with the DIB. Specific activities include: - Coordination with DIB partners, Defense Cyber Crime Center (DC3), Military Departments, DoD agencies, Counterintelligence/Law Enforcement Agencies, and Service Acquisition Executives (SAEs) to assess impacts of information compromise. - Establish and organize the DAMO to be the centralized office for coordinating damage assessments relating to CUI. - Develop and publish DoD policy guidance regarding the conduct of Damage Assessments for all DoD components to implement relating to CUI on defense acquisition programs. - Develop, coordinate, implement and update CONOPs and procedures as required. - Provide technical expertise and analyses in assessing the impact of data lost as a result of the exfiltration. - Develop and implement the DAMO library of assessments maintaining damage assessment reports and ensuring access is available to all with a "need to know" for analytical purposes. - Provide analysis to identify trends in the targeting and compromise of defense acquisition information.
