Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization Systems (RADICS)*
Abstract
*Previously Protecting Cyber Physical Infrastructure The Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization Systems (RADICS) program will create new technologies for maintaining the availability and integrity of critical U.S. cyber-physical infrastructure. This is a national security issue due to the near-ubiquitous use of computers to monitor and control U.S. civilian and military critical infrastructure such as electric power. RADICS will develop technologies to monitor heterogeneous distributed control system networks, detect anomalies that require rapid assessment, isolate compromised system elements, characterize attacks in real time, mitigate sensor spoofing and denial of service attacks, and restore services. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation techniques will be developed to enable the discovery of emergent vulnerabilities and the development and optimization of mitigation, restoration, and reconstitution strategies applicable to the power grid. This will include understanding the potential role of electric power markets and smart grid technologies in propagating or damping power grid anomalies. RADICS technologies will transition to military installations and commercial industry.
