Joint Mission Environment Test Capability: Increasing Cyber T&E Capacity and Capability
Abstract
In FY 2016, the Department, as a result of a study conducted by DASD(C3&CB), realized the magnitude of need for increased cyber test and training capacity and capability. Based on this and other inputs, the Department made the decision to increase funding in the Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) in FY 17 to build out additional cyber T&E capacity based on the National Cyber Range (NCR) architecture. This increased capacity will also be available to conduct training for the Cyber Mission Force. The TRMC worked with the Services to identify facilities where this buildout could be accomplished most efficiently. They also considered additional criteria such as accessibility by acquisition programs, availability of qualified work force, utilities and network availability, timing, and expected cost. To date, TRMC and the Services have identified five sites that are potential candidates. We have begun design and cost estimation in FY16 so that we can begin detailed design and begin build-out in FY 17. Once complete, the Department will have well over four times the cyber test and training capacity offered by the current NCR.
