NC3 Enterprise Center
Abstract
Secretary of Defense tasked USSTRATCOM Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3) Enterprise Center (NEC) to oversee and monitor operations and security of the enterprise and develops tools to assist in monitoring the readiness of the NC3 architecture and capture the operational risks as adversaries develop the ability to disrupt our capabilities from multiple threat vectors. This effort will fund systems engineering and assessment activities previously accomplished by DISA in support of the NC3 Enterprise. The NEC will capture and integrate process and system data to assess operational risk, characterize multi-domain threats, and explore operational trade space associated with next generation NC3 architectures. The NEC will work with the Services to explore new technologies and develop innovative solutions in a virtual environment, and capture metrics that identify system problems and readiness issues before they impact operations. The NEC will also develop digital engineering capabilities to help support governance responsibilities of NC3. The USSTRATCOM Mission Assurance Defense Critical Infrastructure Program (DCIP) is a risk management program that seeks to ensure the availability of networked assets critical to USSTRATCOM and other DoD missions. Critical infrastructure assets can include installations, facilities, antennas, vehicles, computing systems, and communications links. DCIP is directed by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Homeland Defense & Americas' Security Affairs) [OASD (HD&ASA)]. DCIP manages the identification, prioritization, assessment, and assurance of critical infrastructure as a comprehensive program that includes the development of adaptive plans and procedures to mitigate risk, restore capability in the event of loss or degradation, support incident management, and protect defense critical infrastructure. This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.
