Program Protection

Abstract

Protects Missile Defense information, Critical Program Information, technologies, and deploying systems; develops and coordinates Security Classification Guides; and performs declassification reviews to identify equities that warrant continued protection to preserve the technological advantage of the Missile Defense System. Program Protection also coordinates MDA intelligence, counterintelligence and security for Missile Defense System test activities. Efforts include: - Perform reviews required for all Agency public release, security classification, and Freedom of Information Act and Mandatory Declassification Reviews to ensure sensitive Missile Defense information is not inadvertently released into the public domain - Oversee MDA program information security activities - Provide security oversight for the Agency's classified contracts - Provide dedicated on-site security and protection of Missile Defense resources and personnel at operational sites to ensure security protection coverage of Missile Defense System mission operations and test assets - Perform systematic Declassification reviews on historical Agency information to prevent unauthorized disclosures due to automatic declassification requirements - Identify and integrate Security requirements for overseas sites with existing or planned missile defense weapons or sensors to ensure protection of deployed sites - Provide effective physical protection to low density/high demand emerging Warfighter capability - Continue continuous monitoring to determine security clearance eligibility - Assess candidate critical program information for Advanced Technology program and other MDA programs undergoing technical baseline changes; ensure critical technologies embedded in missile defense systems are not vulnerable to compromise Specific and/or unique accomplishments to each FY are as follows:
