OUSD (R&E) Cyber Technologies
Abstract
Integrating both defensive and offensive innovative cyber research within the DoD cyber science and technology (S&T) enterprise to develop interoperable, defense-wide technology options that address joint force challenges in full spectrum cyber operations. Research in Behavioral Cyber Science: Advances understanding and technical rigor of modeling and predicting human responses to cyber activities that enhance cyber operations through planning and training. Explores the interaction between computers and human behavior, moving beyond electronic signals (ones and zeroes) to enable development of new insights to human behavior. Self-Securing Systems: System, platforms, and networks will autonomously help DoD operators react more quickly to cyber-attacks. Equips future DoD systems with the capability to proactively, autonomously, and seamlessly access cyber threats and deploy self-securing mechanisms to neutralize cyber-attacks, offers blue force an innovative new disruptive capability. Precise Cyber Effects: Provides scalable cyber options for military cyber commanders, to precisely identify and engage specific threats and targets with a high confidence of success. Provides a disproportionate advantage for cyber operational modeling, within high variability architectures. These advantages impact industrial control systems and critical infrastructures across blue, gray, and red spaces. Applied Mathematics for Cyber: Advancements in cyberspace-relevant mathematics cut across all three thrust areas producing new provable methods to design, secure, and reason about complex cyber systems. There is a need for an array of formal and informal modeling techniques, backed by various rigorous mathematical theories, to capture and support the richness of the cyber domain.
