Defensive Cyber - Software Prototype Devel

Abstract

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support Line of the Army Network Modernization Strategy Line of Effort (LOE) 1, Key Enabler for Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. The Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) budget line includes funding for Program Executive Office Command Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T) Tactical DCO Infrastructure (TDI) (Legacy); Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) Defensive Cyber Operations; and Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) Rapid Cyber Prototyping. - Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) consists of platform and software programs which are key elements of the DCO Maneuver Baseline infrastructure, platform, and tools. The employment of defensive capabilities creates specific effects in cyberspace through actions that allow commanders to achieve the following objectives: deter, destroy, and defeat enemy offensive cyberspace operations; gain time; economy of force; control key terrain; protect tasked critical assets and infrastructure; and develop intelligence. DCO supports the Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER), Information Warfare Operations Center (IWOC), FORSCOM, (5) Regional Cyber Centers (RCCs), Cyber Warfare Battalion (CWB), Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF), Cyber Protection Brigade (CPB), and (41) Cyber Protection Teams (CPTs) in COMPO 1/2/3. Defensive Cyber Tools and Analytics: * DCO - Cyberspace Analytics - (PEO EIS) - Strategic Level (IWOC) * DCO - Mission Planning - (PEO EIS) - Strategic Level * DCO - Tools Suite - (PEO EIS) - Garrison/Tactical Level * DCO - User Activity Monitoring - (PEO EIS) - Strategic Level * DCO - Forensics and Malware Analysis - (PEO EIS) - Garrison/Tactical Level * DCO - Threat Emulation - (PEO EIS) - Strategic Level * DCO - DCO Development Environment (DCODE) - (PEO EIS) * DCO - Counter Infiltration - (PEO EIS) - Garrison/Tactical Level (Funding beginning in FY2023) - ARCYBER Rapid Cyber Prototyping provides software based capabilities that can quickly respond to emerging cyber threats and keep up with threat technology; while supporting Multi-Domain operations. ARCYBER identifies potential development and prototyping efforts via Cyber Needs Forms (CNFs) based on operational feedback, changes in the operational information environment and/or trends of adversarial activity; which drive CONOP and Tactics Techniques and Procedures (TTP) modifications. These are separate and distinct from DCO programmed efforts already funded or budgeted for by PM DCO and are used to rapidly address a network threat/vulnerability.
