CYBER TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The Cyber Technology project supports long term national security requirements through the development and demonstration of technology to increase the security of military information systems. Over the past decade the DoD has embraced net-centric warfare to enable geographically dispersed forces to attain a high level of shared battlespace awareness that is exploited to achieve strategic, operational, and tactical objectives. This involves networking people, platforms, weapons, sensors, and decision aids to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Adversaries seek to limit this force multiplier effect through cyber attacks intended to degrade, disrupt, or deny military computing, communications, and networking systems. These cyber attacks often aim to exploit vulnerabilities and defects in military software systems. Technologies developed under the Cyber Technology project will ensure DoD cyber-capabilities survive adversary cyber attacks. Promising technologies will transition to system-level projects.
