Embedded, Mobile & Tactical Environments (EMT)
Abstract
Increased the focus of cyber S&T on DoD cyber systems that relied on technology beyond wired networking and standard computing platforms. The objective in the area of embedded and tactical systems was to develop tools and techniques that assured the secure operation of microprocessors within our weapons systems and platforms; enabled security in real-time systems; and established security in disadvantaged, intermittent, and low-bandwidth environments. This research also sought to expand and cultivate military-grade techniques for securing and operating enterprise commodity mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and their associated infrastructures. With the constant evolution of these devices and their respective infrastructures it was of the utmost importance to provide a secure environment where these devices could be effectively utilized, monitored and tracked. The Resilient and Assured Unmanned Aerial Systems Operations (RAUSO) project developed technologies to harden unmanned aerial systems (UAS) platforms and provided better cyber awareness to operators through the integration of a number of cyber tools and capabilities. The approach leveraged a high-assurance hardware platform developed under the Assured Resilient Embedded Systems (ARES) program, to build a cyber security module software stack capable of monitoring sensor inputs and process behavior, while responding with security-relevant actions. The technology has been incorporated into the ARES platform and is being considered for a General Electric (GE) Aviation flight control system, with possible flight tests in FY 2018.
