USCYBERCOM Prototyping

Abstract

U.S. Cyber Command's (USCYBERCOM) mission is to deter or defeat strategic cyber threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of Combatant Commander and Joint Force Commander Objectives. The rapidly evolving cyberspace domain demands highly flexible requirements, acquisition activities, and operations to respond to emerging opportunities or mitigate adversary actions. Salient to this mission area, rapid prototyping activities provide the structure to rapidly develop, evaluate, and integrate new cyber capabilities and inform the initial Unified Platform capability baseline during the early stages of technology maturation and delivery. USCYBERCOM Prototyping efforts support this need through the focus on the rapid and exploratory research, prototype development, risk reduction, testing, and integration of cyber capabilities contributing to early operational development of the Unified Platform capability baseline. USCYBERCOM in conjunction with the Services and National Agencies execute operationally focused research and development and rapid prototyping to explore and determine validity of potential infrastructure, architectures, and capabilities/tools to support Cyber Mission Forces. These rapid prototyping efforts are tailored for near-immediate integration into the Unified Platform baseline (BA 7, PE 0208099F Unified Platform, BPAC 672281F Foundational Efforts) for delivery to cyber warfighters. Prototyping effort ends in FY21. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Unified Platform weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F
