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 on global emerging threats, threat actors and threat networks. Catapult allows DTRA to rapidly develop, engineer, test and deploy analytical tools, 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 threats and threat networks. Catapult uses its RDT&E funding to meet user needs using tools and services that reside in Catapult, a cloud technology-based data analytics platform developed and delivered by DTRA that provides an extensible, continuously augmented, real-time repository of data on emerging threats and worldwide threat actors. 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 ANTS tools 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. This project achieves transformational mission capabilities and postures the Agency to meet emerging mission requirements through innovative technology solutions and service upgrades.
