Assuring Effective Missions
Abstract
Assuring Effective Missions presented technology challenges in the areas of Cyber Mission Control and Effects at Scale. Within this thrust, research was developed to assess and control the cyber situation within a military mission context. Cyber Mission Control covered the ability to orchestrate cyber systems to achieve an overarching mission goal by developing tools and techniques that enabled models of cyber operational behaviors (cyber and kinetic) to determine the correct course of action in the cyber domain. Effects at Scale encompassed full spectrum challenges that intersected with cyber becoming a new full-fledged domain of warfare. Funded research under the Mission Assurance Research Collaboration (MARC), a U.S.-Australia cyber effort to enhance mission assurance through data enrichment, deep learning and natural language processing. The research developed dynamic mission mapping capabilities that were later integrated into Talisman Sabre 2017 (TS17). As a result, the MARC team successfully captured ~12 terabytes (TB) of operationally relevant, shareable data that it will use to analyze for future research. This massive data set represents a huge asset to the future of this five-year collaboration. Additionally, the team established relationships with I-CORPS and Deployable Joint Command and Control (DJC2) as the network providers for the exercise, laying the groundwork for capability demonstration, test, and evaluation in future exercises.
