CWMD Cross-Cutting Technical and Information Sciences
Abstract
This project enables DTRA’s Catapult Information System Program to design, develop, test, and deliver mission capabilities that support the ability to aggregate, and analyze data and information on global emerging threats and threat networks. Catapult and DTRA’s Mission Information Technology (MIT) capability allows DTRA to rapidly develop, engineer, test and deploy analytical tools, threat models and simulations, data science methodologies, and software applications in support of the warfighter. Catapult and its associated Attack the Network Tool Suite (ANTS) integrates data sources that support the detection and identification of emerging threats, threat networks and actors, command and control, operations, intelligence, and engagement for neutralizing, attacking, and defeating both current and emerging improvised threats and threat networks. DTRA’s MIT capability, with its embedded Combatant Command (CCMD) capability, data integrators, and reachback staff work continuously to create capabilities requested by users from the DoD, the Intelligence Community (IC), interagency partners, and the Whole of Government to ingest, fuse, analyze, and present mission relevant data and information. These capabilities reside in Catapult, a cloud technology-based data analytics platform developed and being delivered by DTRA that provides an extensible, continuously augmented, real-time repository of intelligence on improvised threats and worldwide threat actors and networks. Catapult is fully operational and accredited on the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet) and Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System (JWICS). The Catapult architecture pulls from more than 850 data sources on SIPRNet and more than 170 data sources on JWICS. Catapult uses a set of more than 100 tools (ANTS) and services to provide national-level capabilities for data and information capture, discovery, access, aggregation, correlation, visualization, analysis, sharing, and distribution for users from the strategic level to the tactical edge.
