Congressional Adds
Abstract
FY23 Congressional Add funding provided for MQ-8C data bus cybersecurity, datalink network and software automation. Cybersecurity is a mandatory requirement for C4ISR systems, and a data bus provides a medium for data and information exchange between all electronic systems within a weapon system - analogous to a Local Area Network (LAN), but for on-board internal electronic systems of a weapon system or platform. The data bus cybersecurity development effort will provide an integrated full-system cybersecurity solution inclusive of Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention System (IDS/IPS) to legacy MIL-STD-1553 data buses on the MQ-8C Fire Scout. The MQ-8C data link networks and software automation capability will disseminate Fire Scout Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) data products and to provide increased data transfer rate between the AV and GCS to support transfer of the full Fire Scout ISR data set. Software automation efforts will reduce Air Vehicle Pilot (AVP)/Mission Payload Operator (MPO) workload by automating Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization (NATOPS) procedures such as air vehicle start, datalink configuration and link establishment.
