Cyber Advanced Technology Development
Abstract
The Cyber Advanced Technology Development program will build on, mature, and transition the results of successful applied research results from the Cyber Applied Research PE. The link between the Cyber Applied Research and Cyber Advanced Technology Development PEs is intended to create a mechanism to take existing basic research results and mature them to the point of incorporation into technology demonstrations. This program focuses on integrating computer network defense and computer network operations, addressing joint problems in cyber operations, and filling capability and technology gaps as determined by assessments in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering. Progress and results are reviewed by the Cyber S&T Community of Interest. Efforts of the program will develop improved and demonstrable capabilities through the DoD science and technology (S&T) organizations within and across the following technical areas: INFORMATION ASSURANCE AND COMPUTER NETWORK DEFENSE (IA/CND): Develop technologies to harden DoD network components; evolve from network defense to mission assurance; and enable systems to operate through cyber attacks in degraded and contested environments. COMPUTER NETWORK OPERATIONS (CNO): Disrupt adversary attack planning and execution; explore game-changing ideas over the full spectrum of CNO and new concepts in cyber warfare; increase collaboration between disparate research communities within CNO; and address identified gaps in DoD CNO S&T to prepare for cyber conflict against advanced persistent threats. Beginning in FY 2013, the program will expanded research in cyber command and control to provide warfighters and commanders new situational awareness, course of action analysis, cyber operational agility and cyber mission control. This research will include protection of tactical networks, weapons systems and platforms. The six new technical thrust areas include: FOUNDATIONS OF TRUST RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE AGILE OPERATIONS ASSURING EFFECTIVE MISSIONS CYBER MODELING, SIMULATION, AND EXPERIMENTATION (MSE) EMBEDDED, MOBILE, AND TACTICAL ENVIRONMENTS (EMT)
