Wing-Level Mission Assurance for a Cyber-Contested Environment

Abstract

Military systems and operations have become increasingly dependent on interconnected electronics and data. As that dependence grows, so too does the need for mission assurance in the face of adversarial operations through cyberspace. A key nexus for mission assurance lies at the organizational wing level (wings, deltas, and Air Operations Centers), where operational and support activities come together to produce Department of the Air Force missions. Wing-level organizations need to assure their missions despite cyber attacks, but current initiatives to empower wings to this end are in their infancy.
