CYBER SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION
Abstract
Mission: The US Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) responsibilities include planning, integrating, and coordinating cyberspace capabilities; operational and tactical level planning and day-to-day employment of assigned and attached Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) forces; integration of OCO forces with Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) forces and planning and coordination of cyber capabilities that have trans regional effects or that directly support national objectives; providing OCO/DCO support for assigned missions and OCO/DCO planning and integration in support of other Combatant Commanders (CCMD) as directed. Also coordinating Computer Network Operations (CNO) capabilities in order to achieve national security objectives. The capabilities directly support execution of offensive cyber operations against adversary networks, directly support Combatant Commands (COCOMs), and coordinate with defensive operations to defend and protect the Department of Defense (DoD) network. USCYBERCOM's operations provide mission assurance for US Forces while denying the same to national adversaries. USCYBERCOM will develop defensive cyber strategies and capabilities to ensure force flow during campaign operations and to expand DoD Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) capabilities. USCYBERCOM will research, develop, and test technologies and capabilities that allow Cyber forces to conduct future offensive and defensive cyber operations in support of CCMDs to include title 10 infrastructures, and cross cutting technologies. Activities also include studies and analysis to support current program planning and execution. USCYBERCOM will also provide the resources for other COCOMs to conduct CNO Offensive Cyber Operations/Defensive Cyber Operations (OCO/DCO) planning. An in-house development team (Special Projects Vulnerability Assessment Team) will perform research, small scale prototyping and integration as required to support the mission. Further detail is classified and can be provided upon request. Additionally, this team will re-tool existing offensive and defensive capabilities to satisfy immediate USCYBERCOM operational needs. Finally, USCYBERCOM will delegate resources to the Army, Navy, and Air Force Cyber Service Components to develop deconflicted offensive cyber capabilities in accordance with USCYBERCOM Operational Directive 12-001. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
