Space & Elec Warfare Engineering
Abstract
Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 funding increase is to establish the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) suite capabilities to provide a cybersecurity vulnerability and functional test capability within the USS Secure test laboratory. Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has defined several key programs, initiatives, and policies that drive Navy requirements prioritization and impact Navy Programs of Record (PoR). Major efforts include Joint Information Environment (JIE), the Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment (IC ITE) and the Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Navy has made a number of modifications to account for emerging threats in cyber and address the need for greater interoperability to support key warfighting missions. Additionally, the Navy has defined Information Warfare (IW) objectives for Assured Command and Control (C2), Battlespace Awareness, Integrated Fires (IF), and Cyber capabilities that require significant changes and improvements to the Navy's approach for managing its information infrastructure, content, and effects. Potential adversaries will exploit perceived United States (U.S.) space and cyberspace vulnerabilities, which could impact U.S. information-handling capabilities and wartime readiness. The Navy has identified Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) as responsible for Information Technology (IT) Technical Authority (TA), Information Assurance (IA) TA and lead for a cross-SYSCOM Technical Authority Board (TAB) to develop, monitor and approve architectures, technical standards, tools and processes that form the technical foundation of a single, integrated Navy plan for cybersecurity. USS Secure is a cyber assessment program within the Naval Research and Development Establishment (NR&DE). This cross-SYSCOM, cross-domain, System of Systems (SoS) (Afloat, Aloft, C4I & Shore) capability in a test laboratory environment provides a rapidly re-configurable capability that can integrate real maritime hardware systems into a virtual complete platform for platform level SoS cybersecurity research, development, test and evaluation, and training, not otherwise possible. This combination of SYSCOM laboratories, cyber ranges, and Red Teams more accurately simulating Navy platforms in operational maritime environments is critical for effectively evaluating cyber threats against specified mission threads. The cybersecurity vulnerability and functional test capability will support Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (PEO C4I) Programs of Record (PoR) cybersecurity test requirements and the C4I components of the USS Secure. This capability will provide a System of Systems (SoS) cyber test and assessment capability and facilitate the programs' compliance with both Department of Defense (DoD) (e.g. Risk Management Framework (RMF)) and Department of Navy (DoN) cybersecurity Test and Evaluation (T&E) policy, directives and requirements. This effort includes establishing and designing the capability to test operationally representative C4I baselines, to include force level platforms, unit level platforms, and associated shore services and transport capabilities. It will provide C4I enclave support to USS Secure enabling cyber assessments of systems and enclaves in an end-to-end environment. This program will include Red Team testing, Mission-thread Analysis, cyber risk assessments, and cyber base lining. Since no Objective Quality Evidence (OQE) of potential cyber threats on mission threads and C4I systems exists, this testing will prepare PoRs to meet and address acquisition milestones, Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), and test objectives. The engineering artifacts developed through the Technical Authority Board (TAB) provide Navy-specific guidance that facilitates common and consistent implementation of security controls across current and future Navy PoRs and eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies characteristic of previous stove-pipe development efforts in which each system addressed security individually. These efforts enable a standardized and layered, Defense-in-Depth approach to improving the Navy's cybersecurity posture. This enables some Navy programs to inherit required security controls from other systems, thereby reducing their cybersecurity requirements and associated integration costs. The cybersecurity standards also support effective transition from Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) to RMF. To realize the Information Warfare (IW) vision, the Navy will develop Information Technology (IT) and Information Assurance (IA) Technical Authority (TA) architectures, specifications, standards, and profiles to ensure Navy cyber capabilities can support critical warfighting functions in degraded or contested environments. To support Navy objectives in advancing IW capabilities, the Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) provides four main functions: (1) Develop the architectures, specifications and standards to support a single integrated Navy plan for cybersecurity; (2) Provide the cybersecurity vulnerability and functional test capability which supports cybersecurity test requirements and the C4I components of the USS Secure. (3) Define an integrated Enterprise Architecture to support design, development and delivery of integrated Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Business IT, and Space System capabilities; and (4) Drive rigorous Systems Engineering discipline to support rapid development and delivery of secure and interoperable C4ISR, Business IT, and Space Systems capabilities that meet Fleet requirements. Products provided: 1) Integrated architectures, specifications and standards to reflect current (as-is) and future (target) end states to support technical analyses, program planning, and enterprise-level investment decisions across current and future C4ISR, Business IT, and Space System capabilities. - Defense-in-Depth cybersecurity architectures and standards derived from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requirements and tailored for Navy-specific implementation in combat/weapon system, Naval control system, Business IT, and C4I programs across all of the Navy Systems Commands. - Fit for Purpose / Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) compliant architecture views to support PoR Engineering/Acquisition documentation requirements and ensure alignment with applicable Joint Information Environment (JIE), Intelligence Community Information Technology Environment (IC ITE), Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) Enterprise Architecture, and other higher-level architectures. 2) Engineering tools and processes that support and drive consistent application of technical rigor across all design, development, validation and certification activities for C4ISR, Business IT, and Space IW systems. - Single, authoritative repository to maintain validated engineering artifacts with associated technical performance attributes to support advanced model-based engineering analyses and studies. - Development and refinement of model-based systems engineering tools to support mission thread driven analysis enabling the identification of capability gaps and overlaps, interoperability issues, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities between Navy System of Systems (SoS) capabilities. - Initial planning and procurement to establish cybersecurity test capabilities and the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) components of the USS Secure, a cross-Systems Command (SYSCOM) distributed Cyber test capability in support of cybersecurity testing. - Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs) to provide independent, objective assessments of the technical maturity and compliance with applicable architectures, specifications and standards for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Business Information Technology (IT), and Space Systems. - End-to-End Systems Engineering and Integrated Design - Operational feasibility studies, technical feasibility studies, technical roadmap engineering validations, architectures, and assessment traceability matrices. - Engineering Evaluations to ensure delivered C4ISR, Business IT, and Space Systems are validated as meeting operational needs and interoperability requirements. - Technical analysis and engineering artifacts to ensure integration and interoperability across Assured Command and Control (C2), Battlespace Awareness, and Integrated Fires (IF) to deliver integrated Information Warfare (IW) capabilities to Navy warfighters.
