F/A-18 E/F/G Network Cyber Defense
Abstract
This funding provides for the development of a hardware and software based solution into the Distributed Target Processor - Network (DTP-N) in order for the network cyber defense to provide the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G with a capability to detect an intrusion and prevent avionics terminals on the data from being corrupted by malicious software and identify when the software is not operating normally. The capability determines intrusion via traffic analysis. Air crew are alerted to malicious behavior with forensic data for maintenance for post flight repair. The capability quarantines the intrusion for safe failure across data networks and aircraft. This capability provides positive reliable means to ensure mission aircraft systems integrity during a cyber-attack and thus prevents cyber events from reducing aircraft availability.
