Abstract

Description: Integrating both defensive and offensive innovative cyber research within the DoD cyber science and technology enterprise to develop interoperable, defense-wide technology options that address joint force challenges in full spectrum integrated sensing and cyber operations. Augmented Cognition: Integrates human ingenuity with machine intelligence, computation, and sensing technologies to extend cognitive capabilities, empower humans, and, ultimately, improve system performance. As the complexity of the cyber battlefield increases, augmented cognition can reduce cognitive workload of cyber personnel, support more effective human-machine teaming, individualize training and learning, and improve operator situation awareness, sensemaking, decision support, and communication. Dominant Cyber Operations: Cyber operations that embody the JP 3-0 principles of mas, maneuver, and unity of command so that they have a high probability of achieving specific outcomes with minimal collateral damage and unforeseen consequences. Operations must predict and quantify the significance of both immediate and latent higher-order effects, thus controlling the state of an intended cyber target without perturbing unintended kinetic and non-kinetic entities. Dependable Systems and Networks: Dependable systems and networks are characterized by the principles, methods, and technologies whose aim is to increase the availability, reliability, survivability, and integrity of cyber systems and networks providing critical military capabilities at the physical and logical network layers. Cyber Foundations: Provides cross-cutting opportunities across the other thrusts by promoting applied mathematics research on formal cyber proofing methods and securing data in transit. The evaluation and measurement tools that characterize CF underpin development and enable key breakthroughs in multiple fields of cyber research.
