Recently, we were awarded a subcontract from SAIC under their Cyber Warfare ID/IQ with the SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific and as a subcontractor to Lockheed in the Special Operating Forces Logistics support.
The SPAWAR Cyber Warfare Contract provides support in the following:
– Computer Network Operations (e.g. Attack, Defend and Exploit functions) as they relate to the interdependent network of information technology infrastructures, including the internet, telecommunications networks, computer systems and embedded processors and controllers.
– Computer Network Attack (CNA) and Computer Network Exploitation (CNE) against automated systems, and the interaction between the physical, social and biological networks that define human-machine interaction.
– Information Assurance (IA) and Computer Network Defense (CND) measures to protect and defend Naval, Joint and National systems.
– Cyber Warfare Mission Assurance and Mission Planning.
– Understanding aspects of human behavior and cognitive functions to influence adversary decision making (e.g. Psychological Operations (PSYOP) and Military Deception (MILDEC)).
– Electronic Warfare (EW) to include Electronic Attack (EA) Electronic Support (ES) and Electronic Protect (EP) in the RF, millimeter wave, and optical environments.
– Monitoring, analyzing and mitigating Operations Security (OPSEC) vulnerabilities.
– Command and Control (C2) of Cyber Warfare capabilities.
– Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aspects of Cyber Warfare (including Space Operations).
– Ubiquitous Communications and Computing Environment.
– Countermeasures including the capabilities and expertise to develop source identification tools, cyber data management, and methodologies for object correlation and referencing
– Modeling, Simulation and Visualization of the future environment in which communications, computing, data, sensors and networks are interoperable, ubiquitous and transparent to humans.
– Understanding networks as a science and developing models which can provide clarity into how networks operate and resist or deter attack.
– Convergence of physical, biological and social networks and how this will affect human interactions and decision cycles.
– Understanding of Cyber Warfare Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP).
