Red Teaming
Abstract
The Red Teaming project supports assessments and demonstrations to stress and assess emerging systems with the intent of gaining or maintaining overmatch earlier in the life cycle. The project helps assess the susceptibility and vulnerability of emerging technologies and newly developed systems, and helps identify unanticipated disruptive opportunities and technological dead ends. The 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. The Red Teaming project supports three broad types of red teaming: 1) Early stage horizon scanning and assessments of weaknesses and opportunities of pre-development technologies from an adversary perspective; 2) Targeted, low-fidelity prototypes to assess utility and inform design choices prior to funding commitments; and 3) 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, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), government laboratories, and academia. Deliverables will inform requirements, new concepts of operations (CONOPS), and help accelerate technology acquisition pathways for joint missions.
