Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment
Abstract
This program funds cyber vulnerability assessments of Air Force weapons systems and critical infrastructure as well as non-recurring engineering for mitigations. The effort leverages the methodology described in the Air Force Cyber Campaign Plan (CCP) to provide Air Force mission assurance in a cyber-contested environment. Under the Air Force CCP, the Air Force is accomplishing work mandated by Section 1647 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and Section 1650 of the FY 2017 NDAA. Section 1647 of the FY 2016 NDAA directs the Secretary of Defense to complete an evaluation of the cyber vulnerabilities of each major weapon system of the Department of Defense. Section 1650 of the FY 2017 NDAA mandates the Secretary of Defense submit a plan for assessing the cyber vulnerability of critical defense infrastructure and begin assessment of this infrastructure during a preliminary pilot program that will assess no fewer than two installations. This funding focuses on aspects of the AF CCP that develop processes, products, and people to perform the short term goals of conducting system cyber vulnerability assessments, cyber mitigations, and pilot programs and work toward the long term goal of achieving an enduring cyber resilient Air Force. The program builds upon existing efforts regarding the identification and mitigation of cyber vulnerabilities, and does not duplicate similar ongoing efforts or conduct redundant assessments on systems that have already been evaluated. 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.
