CYBER Situational Understanding
Abstract
Cyber Situational Understanding (SU) funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. This funding will be executed by Program Executive Office Command Control and Communications - Tactical (PEO C3T). 655041CY5: Cyber SU is a software-only program hosted on the Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI) at Brigade to ASCC echelons continually integrating Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS)/Non-Developmental Item (NDI) capabilities into the Common Operating Environment (COE) to produce a Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) overlay on the commander's Common Operational Picture (COP) within the Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE). Cyber SU enables the commander and staff to concurrently defend the network/information systems, identify and target cyberspace threats, manage risks and aid in increasing operational success. Cyber SU will allow the tactical commander to see themselves, see their battlespace and understand their battlespace; this will be accomplished with three capability drops. Cyber SU provides the visualization and understanding of physical (geographical), logical (at a specific network internet protocol), and cyber persona layers (bad actors, from individuals to nation states) of tactical cyberspace data. Cyber SU ingests existing data sources, synchronizing and integrating blue (signal, cyberspace (DCO), electronic warfare and mission command data), red (intelligence data), and grey (commercial/private sector data) and enables collaboration at the tactical edge. 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. Cyber SU FY 2021 funding will support continued prototyping, engineering, testing, training development and program management to establish the Cyber SU initial capability in support of First Unit Equipped (FUE) 1Q22. The initial COTS/NDI system will be integrated into CPCE, and will ingest, correlate, analyze and display cyberspace data to include network health and status into useful and actionable warfighter information that can be shared with the CEMA Work Group.
