Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment
Abstract
In FY23, the DAF realigned $240.9M from Program Element (PE) 0208088F AF Defensive Cyberspace Operations (AFDCO) to PE 0308605F AF Defensive Cyber Systems (AFDCS) in order to consolidate efforts under a single Budget Activity 8 (BA08) Software and Digital Technology Pilot Program. This consolidation helps accelerate integration and modernization required to address the evolving cyber threat. Prior to FY23, funding was contained in PE 0208088F Projects 677821; 677822; 677823; Operations & Maintenance (O&M) AG/SAGs 12D/11V, and Other Procurement Line Item 834320. This requirement supports the Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment/Hunter Team (CVA/H) weapon system development of new capabilities to provide Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER) and Combatant Commanders additional mobile precision in addition to currently fielded protection capabilities to identify, pursue, and mitigate cyberspace threats. The CVA/H weapon system performs defensive sorties world-wide via remote or on-site access. CVA/H executes Hunter missions on AF and DoD networks & systems. Hunter operations characterize and then eliminate threats for the purpose of mission assurance. The Hunter mission focuses on the capability to find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess (F2T2EA) the advanced persistent threat (APT). This effort funds development efforts to enhance command and control situational awareness and to expand the capability of the current weapon system to meet scope and scale of the USCYBERCOM directed Cyber Protection Teams and AF Mission Defense Teams. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver 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 PY $0.103M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in CY $0.228M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
