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 for fielded weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems. Trusted System Network risk and programs' Supply Chain Risk Management may also be evaluated and addressed. Traditional cyber security focuses on Internet Protocol (IP) based system compliance with the Risk Management Framework (RMF), as described in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publications 800-37 and 800-53. This project addresses the gaps between RMF compliance and the cyber resiliency efforts required for non IP-based fielded weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems. Activities in this project include: 1) the investigation of non-materiel mitigations, to include changes to Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), and 2) the investigation and prototyping of engineering materiel solutions to transfer to the Program Offices for development on their weapon systems, subsystems, and support systems.
