CYBER Situational Understanding

Abstract

Cyber SU falls within Line of Effort (LOE) 1 (Unified Network) of the Network Modernization Strategy framework, which incorporates cyber capabilities that support the employment of the network as a weapon system. CY5 Cyber SU: Cyber SU supports Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) operations by providing visualization of CEMA information to improve planning, coordination, integration and synchronization of cyberspace operations and unified land operations. Cyber SU provides the Brigade to Corps commanders the visualization of physical (geographically), logical (at a specific network internet protocol), and cyber persona layers (bad actors, from individuals to nation states) of cyberspace based on data/information from multiple sources and sensors to produce a CEMA overlay on the commander's Common Operational Picture (COP) within the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE). Supporting CEMA, Cyber SU synchronizes and integrates red (enemy), grey (commercial/private sector) and blue (friendly) cyberspace data, and enables collaboration at the tactical edge. Further, in support of the Military Decision Making Process (planning and decision cycles), Cyber SU provides tactical commanders with a thorough understanding of CEMA threats by informing the commander of any cyber related impacts to physical domains, unified land operations, and the overall mission.
