Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment
Abstract
Beginning in FY25, continuation of this work is described in BPAC 677824. Funding in this BPAC contributes to the development of software and related activities in support of the creation of an Integrated Defensive Cyberspace system. The Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment/Hunter (CVA/H) weapon system provides 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. Activity in this BPAC also supports development of enhancements to legacy DCO weapon systems, as needed, to support current operations and facilitate the transition of legacy capabilities to the IDCS described more fully in BPAC 677824. 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 FY23 $0.457M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this BPAC, and in FY24 $0.000M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this BPAC.
