Abstract
$5.8M increase in FY18 for Task Force Cyber Awakening to close funding gap for identified capabilities investments to assess, verify, validate, and mitigate cyber vulnerabilities with tailored solutions for aviation weapon systems programs and improve cyber security at control system entry points to enable mission assurance in cyber contested environments. The Joint Configuration Management Information System (JCMIS): The JCMIS Program is DoD's standard software system for complete and integrated Configuration Management (CM) of weapon systems from acquisition to disposal. JCMIS efficiently manages all product structure data, including complex interrelationship between assemblies and subassemblies, technical documentation and the parts that comprise the item. JCMIS is designed to manage and control configuration data to support the DoD business processes. Accurate, complete and accessible configuration data is critical to the successful operations of DoD weapon systems or tracked assets. Mission readiness and operational capabilities are enhanced by JCMIS, as instant consistent integrated configuration data is readily available to operators, maintainers and logistics personnel. This system is a CM tool available DoD wide to support all potential customers. JCMIS provides users with a common database infrastructure to ensure compatibility, quality, and consistency of CM processes and provides configuration managers and analysts the validated CM information necessary for accurate maintenance, spare procurements, reliability and safety analysis, and mission readiness. Funding is budgeted to support the services of re-hosting and testing of Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) upgrades to ensure objective performance of JCMIS is achieved. This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision. Task Force Cyber Awakening (TFCA)- Cyber Warfare consists of many different aspects to include sabotage of our weapon systems, networks as well as enablement of missions. Nation and non-nation state actors are acquiring and employing more advanced cyber-attacks in order to exploit our networks and aviation systems challenging our technological edge. The threats and capabilities are real and range from exploiting capabilities, overloading weapons systems and logistics supply chains, to jamming signals or taking control of weapons systems. We must defend against adversarial cyber attacks while contributing to the exploitation of cyber warfare capabilities. To meet these challenges and address the Chief of Naval Operations priorities and tasking, these R&D efforts are specifically focused on Naval Air Systems Command weapon or control systems and programs to ensure warfighting effectiveness as part of integrated / multi-platform kill chains. These research and development efforts will strengthen our cyber posture by developing research, development, test and evaluation capabilities and solutions to deter, detect, and mitigate cyber threats and safeguard classified naval aviation systems and platforms from "cradle to grave." These solutions will be integrated into the acquisition of weapons systems to enhance security, increase lethality, and improve resiliency in the expected operational environments. Our weapon or control systems are unique in the aforementioned environments and mission, but also in the presence of numerous non-traditional access points and trusted cyber relationships required for operational environments. Digital Thread - Digital Thread (DT) is digital process integration with complete, secure and authoritative data. DT integrates the product life cycle, and includes all the processes that are needed to design, develop, test, produce, and support a product. By connecting these processes, and using a standardized set of digital tools and data, the DT accelerates the product development cycle and lowers costs and for support and new capability integration.
