Abstract
Technology Development (TD) conducts concept development and early systems engineering activities to analyze evolving threats and Communications Security (COMSEC) capability gaps across AF mission areas. Develops, plans and executes foundational technology maturation efforts to inform COMSEC requirements, build capability roadmaps and support cost estimates prior to Materiel Development Decision (MDD). Mitigates risk for thousands of AF users affected by algorithm security issues and ensures required security upgrades can be integrated into the AF enterprise. Works with NSA and other services to develop standards that increase security of communication and information products and facilitate efficient crypto and COMSEC enterprise management. Includes but is not limited to: Secure Micro-digital Data Link (SMDDL), Classified Data at Rest (CDAR), Common Encryption Management (CEMENT), Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Crypto, Transmission Security (TRANSEC) modernization, and Enhanced Firefly (EFF) replacement development.
