Integration of Cyber Situational Awareness into System Design and Development

Abstract

Cyber situational awareness (SA) is the correlation of network status to operational impact. This capability is increasingly important for commanders and individual weapon system platforms as the DoD continues its exploitation of net-centric operations. To achieve higher maturity levels of cyber SA, the acquisition community needs to act as an enabler by making cyber issues an integral part of early system design and development. This paper identifies key cyber characteristics needing consideration and recommends improvement to acquisition policy and guidance, including the net-readiness key performance parameter (NR-KPP) and the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF).
