Cyber Concepts

Abstract

This project develops and demonstrates methods to discover cyber susceptibilities, assess avionics systems, formulate mitigation strategies, and investigate use of tools and technologies to automate this process. It is designed to apply developed vulnerability discovery, vulnerability mitigation, and cyber protection technology to avionics systems and components and embedded systems. This involves technologies for trusted sensors and trusted systems that deter exploitation of our critical hardware and software. This project aims to develop cyber resilience and protect systems through adaptation of the system to the threat. It demonstrates these technologies in open and adaptable architectures for system integration in field demonstrations and proves out the technologies through rapid integration of sensors and architectures for technology transition. It integrates research efforts in electronic and cyber warfare to rapidly demonstrate a capability for rapid fielding. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 634335, Cyber Concepts, is transferred from PE 0603270F, Electronic Combat Technology, to PE 0603034F, Persistent Knowledge, Awareness, & C2 Tech, Project 634335, Cyber Concepts, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE Consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and AF Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Technology Directorate located in Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
