Cyber Modeling, Simulation & Experimentation (MSE)
Abstract
Develop modeling and simulation capabilities that are able to sufficiently simulate the cyber environment in which the DoD operates and enable a more robust assessment and validation of cyber technology development. There are two technical challenges associated with cyber modeling, simulation, and experimentation: 1) Cyber Modeling and Simulation and 2) Cyber Measurement. Cyber Modeling and Simulation seeks to develop tools and techniques that enable analytical modeling and multi-scale simulation of complex cyber systems. Cyber Measurement develops cyber experimentation and test range technology to conduct controlled, repeatable experiments, providing the ability to track the progress of cyber research investments in a quantitative fashion. This area will explore new analytical methodologies, models, and experimental data sets to establish metrics to measure a system’s state of security, apply the scientific method to establish the foundations of a framework in which cyber security research can be conducted, to test hypotheses with measurable and repeatable results, and the quantitative experimentation and assessment for new cyber technologies. These new methodologies will enable the exploration of modeling and simulation tools and techniques that can drive innovation in research. Additionally, these methodologies will aid in integrated experimentation by simulating the cyber environment with sufficient fidelity and integrating cyber modeling and simulation with the traditional modeling and simulation related to the kinetic domain.
