Assuring Effective Missions
Abstract
Develop the ability to assess and control the cyber situation in the mission context. While the focus in cyber research is often placed on individual technologies, how these technologies work toward an effective mission is critical for the DoD. The objective of Assuring Effective Missions presents technology challenges in the areas of Cyber Mission Control and Effects at Scale. Cyber Mission Control covers the ability to orchestrate cyber systems to achieve an overarching mission goal. To perform dyanmic analysis of asset criticality, and course-of-action analysis alternatives, there is a critical need for tools that can map information technology assets to missions and use modeling and simulation, or other techniques. Inherent in Cyber Mission Control is the ability to automatically derive and fuse information about the characteristics of information technology systems in a manner that allows us to describe, analyze, observe, and control the operation of information technology components. A key goal of this research area is to have tools that enable commanders to assess and direct different information technology maneuvers in conjunction with mission actions. Effects at Scale encompass full spectrum challenges that intersect with cyber becoming a new full-fledged domain of warfare.
