Assist Situational Understanding
Abstract
This project enables DTRA to design, develop, test, and deliver IT capabilities that support the ability to understand and analyze global threat information. The project allows DTRA to rapidly develop, test and engineer analytical products, threat models and simulations, data science methodologies, software applications, and to integrate intelligence data sources that enable the rapid collection, fusion, and dissemination of operational-intelligence and technology in order to enable the defeat of threat networks that employ disruptive technologies. The advanced Mission Information Technology (MIT) capability, its software Systems Integration Lab (SIL), and embedded Combatant Command (CCMD)-direct support and reach back staff, continuously create capabilities to ingest, fuse, analyze, and present mission relevant data and information that provides immediate assistance to DoD and the whole of government. This capability, called Catapult, is a fully accredited SIPR and JWICS based analytical cloud architecture. The Catapult architecture pulls from over more than 850 Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPR) and more than 170 Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS) data sources and allows for simple and open data access, system stability, scalability, and advanced analytics. In addition to Catapult, the MIT created another significant capability called Voltron. Voltron provides analysts access to signals intelligence (SIGINT) data within a secure and IC-accredited software developer environment. Voltron, give analysts access to continuously new models in support of “Attack the Network” analysis and operations. Voltron provides analysts access to methodologies involving multi-INT fusion in an easy to use interface. These methods are based on years of experience supporting tactical targeting environment and built in collaboration with other teams across the Intelligence Community. There are currently more than 75 models in Voltron available to the user community. DTRA's authorities and mission have enabled a unique “Path-to-Production” (PTP) for mission-driven IT solutions. This unique development environment includes an integrated Cyber Security Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process, an in-house collateral Authorizing Official (AO), a strong partnership between technologists and intelligence analysts working real-world problems, and a collaborative and innovative culture that launches practical software solutions rapidly.
