Plan X

Abstract

The Plan X program is developing technologies to enable comprehensive awareness and understanding of the cyber battlespace as required for visualizing, planning, and executing military cyber warfare operations. This includes intelligence preparation of the cyber battlespace, indications and warning of adversary cyber actions, detection of cyber-attack onset, cyber-attacker identification, and cyber battle damage assessment. Plan X is creating new graphical interfaces that enable intuitive visualization of events on hosts and networks to aid in the planning and execution of cyber warfare. Plan X will extend operationally meaningful measures to project quantitatively the collateral damage of executed cyber warfare missions. Initial funding for this effort was provided in Project IT-05. Funding continues in IT-03 for testing and evaluation through participation in tactical level exercises and integrating the Plan X system into transition partner operating profiles.
