Red Teaming
Abstract
The Red Teaming project assesses the susceptibility and vulnerability of emerging technologies and newly developed systems. Red teaming helps identify unanticipated disruptive opportunities and technological dead ends. The project supports red teaming demonstrations to stress and assess emerging systems in key areas for gaining or maintaining overmatch earlier in the life-cycle. This project improves systems by reducing vulnerabilities and providing a holistic understanding of employment risks in operationally-representative environments and against potential threats prior to full funding commitments. Red teaming informs requirements and helps accelerate acquisition pathways for joint missions. The Red Teaming project supports three broad types of red teaming: 1) Red Teaming for Technology Surprise supports early stage horizon scanning and assessments of weaknesses and opportunities of pre-development technologies from an adversary perspective; 2) Prototype Development for Demonstrations and Red Teaming supports targeted, low-fidelity prototypes to assess utility and inform design choices prior to funding commitments; and 3) Red Teaming to Support Innovation in Concepts of Operations including comprehensive red teams, war games, and field experiments with maturing technology to understand how to implement new technologies and adapt to adversary responses. This effort leverages the innovative capabilities of other defense red teaming organizations within the Department, the Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), government laboratories, and academia. Deliverables will inform technology acquisition and new concepts of operations.
