Technology Development (TD)
Abstract
Technical Development (TD) conducts concept development and early systems engineering activities to address evolving threats identified by NSA, algorithm obsolescence and Communications Security (COMSEC) capability gaps across AF and DoD mission areas. Identifies, further matures, or sponsors technology development efforts, plans and executes foundational technology demonstration efforts to reduce risks to COMSEC acquisitions. Analyze capability gaps that translate to requirements, build capability roadmaps, execute studies, and support cost estimates prior to Materiel Development Decision (MDD) for future cryptographic initiatives. Mitigates risk for thousands of AF and DoD users affected by algorithm obsolescence and ensures required security upgrades can be integrated into the AF and DoD enterprise. Works closely with NSA and other services to develop standards that increase security, prevent stove-pipe implementations, and facilitate efficient COMSEC enterprise management lifecycle management. Includes but is not limited to: Remote Integrated Toolkit (REMIT), Common Crypto Management, Transmission Security (TRANSEC) modernization, Trusted Sensors, Crypto Enterprise Tracking (CET), Advanced Cryptographic Capabilities Increment One (ACC Inc 1)/Cryptographic Modernization 2, Trusted Systems Network (TSN)/Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), Ground Operating Equipment (GOE) and MILSATCOM Crypto Mod (MCM).
