Cyber Training Environment
Abstract
PCTE supports the USCYBERCOM by enabling the critical need for the DoD CMF to train at the individual, team, and force level. PCTE provides the DoD CMF with a standardized training capability that maximizes shared content across the Services. PCTE emulates network environments as well as connect with other range environments and cyber training assets. The PEO STRI was designated as the DoD Acquisition Lead for the PCTE and the program is directed by the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1645. With the JROC validation of the IS-CDD on 4 November 2019, the PCTE program quickly achieved Milestone B on 6 December 2019. Through ongoing rapid prototyping efforts, the PCTE platform has fulfilled the critical need for a CMF standardized training capability upon release of PCTE Version 2 in Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2020 and continues to do so with ongoing version releases. FY 2024 PCTE funding focuses on CDRUSCYBERCOM priorities within platform releases to include capability improvements that enhance CMF operations and support mission readiness. Areas of planned enhancements focus on feature updates and capacity expansion required to deliver initial PCTE schoolhouse training, improved CMF JQRs training and increased mission rehearsal capabilities. The PCTE platform continues collaboration with all stakeholders within the JCWA, and continue integration efforts across the JCWA portfolio as prioritized through USCYBERCOM. The PCTE platform maintains accreditations at all required classification levels that to serve DoD CMF user training at all domains classification levels. Platform infrastructure and licensing supports the full DoD CMF user base.
