AF Offensive Cyber Operations
Abstract
Distributed Cyber Warfare Operations (DCWO) conducts Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) leading to operations-ready cyberspace superiority capabilities including the transition of efforts from laboratory, industry, and academia via studies, accelerated prototyping, and technology demonstrations. DCWO consists of a portfolio of programs and projects providing the rapid acquisition of operational cyber capabilities. DCWO effectiveness comes from balancing funding among three capability thrust areas required for cyber warfare operations: Air Force Platforms, Access and Payloads. The DCWO portfolio provides capabilities by combining these three areas to provide cyber effects to Combatant Commanders. The platform capability provides user interface and controls, the access/infrastructure capability provides connectivity and the payloads capability develops and fields cyber tools and payloads all leveraging industry and other Government/non-Government mission partnered applications and programs. Some aspects of the effort are classified and will be provided on a need to know basis. For further information please contact AFLCMC/HNCO, 210-925-6614. This program element may include necessary emergent or unanticipated civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Air Force Distributed Cyber Warfare Operations for emergent or unanticipated weapon system capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY21 0.000M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY22 1.420M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
