Space & Elec Warfare Engineering
Abstract
To support Navy objectives in advancing Information Warfare (IW) capabilities, the Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering project provides three main functions: (1) Navy Advanced Manufacturing (AdvM) technology aligns to Chief of Naval operations (CNO) priorities to deliver revolutionary capabilities to improve fleet readiness. These enterprise solutions will provide the foundation to (a) enhance warfighter capability by implementing disruptive AdvM technologies such as Additive Manufacturing (AM), Subtractive Manufacturing, 3D CNC milling, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Lathing, and Robotic welding; (b) increase readiness through low-volume production of hard-to-source items; and (c) improve warfighting capacity by enabling low volume custom production at or near the point of need. Specific efforts include the development of the Digital Advanced Manufacturing Ecosystem (DAME) to address the design and certification of AM capabilities for both afloat and ashore, development of Cyber Security Risk Management Profiles for devices and applications on operational networks, definition of a secure Technical Data Package to describe components that can be digitally manufactured, and the development of an overarching, enterprise-level Digital Manufacturing Thread (device management, digital rights management, licensing, configuration management, data storage rule/access and application programming interfaces). (2) Develop the architectures, specifications and standards, tools, and processes to support a single integrated Navy Cybersecurity plan. Develop cybersecurity engineering criteria within Navy specific guidance to drive common and consistent implementation of security controls within a threat informed mission impact approach across current and future Navy Programs of Record/projects. This eliminates redundancies and inefficiencies characteristic of previous stove-pipe development efforts in which each system addressed security individually. These efforts enable a standardized approach to improve the Navy's cyber resiliency to Cyber Adversary's weaponization of IT/OT susceptibility to attack. Provide the cybersecurity vulnerability and functional test standards, which supports cybersecurity test requirements and the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) components of Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWARSYSCOM) Information Warfare (IW) Kill Chain Testing for SYSCOM Red Team. NAVWAR develops and deploys innovative Naval approach for rapid delivery of software applications with emphasis on security & automation via Certified Continuous Integration (CI) / Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline tools based upon NAVWAR designed SECDEVOPS services under SECNAV Rapid Assess & Incorporate Software Engineering (RAISE). This combination of Systems Commands functions, services and tools ensures Navy platforms in operational maritime environments can effectively defend and "fight through" cyber adversary attacks under a framework of mission thread analysis and assessment. NAVWAR establishes an integrated Enterprise Architecture to support design, development and delivery of integrated Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Business Information Technology (IT), and Space System capabilities. This architecture reflects current (as-is) and future (target) end states to support technical analyses, program planning, and enterprise-level investment decisions across IW capabilities on both ashore and afloat platforms. Provides engineering tools and processes to drive rigorous systems engineering discipline across the acquisition lifecycle to support rapid development and delivery of secure and interoperable C4ISR, Business IT, and Space Systems capabilities that meet Fleet requirements. Conduct Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETRs) to provide independent, objective assessments and certifications of technical maturity and compliance with applicable architectures, specifications and standards across IW capabilities.
