Mission Assurance for Fielded Systems

Abstract

The Mission Assurance for Fielded Systems project identifies and verifies weapon system cyber susceptibilities/vulnerabilities and determines the risk to the user, platform, and enterprise by correlating cross-platform impacts and risk to the mission. This effort also identifies mitigations to high risk cyber vulnerabilities and recommends a transition path on the fielded weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems. Activities in this project include: 1) the investigation and identification of changes to Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and 2) the investigation and prototyping of engineering solutions not effectively mitigated by TTPs to transfer to the program offices for development on their weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems. This project addresses the gap between the cyber security/resiliency that has been accomplished on traditional internet protocol (IP)-based Information Technology (IT) for the Department of Defense Information Network (DODIN) and lack of focused effort of cyber security/resiliency on non-DODIN IT plus non-IP based technologies typically found on fielded weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems.
