INCITE: Innovative Cyber/Infrastructure Threat assessment Environment

TDKCs INnovative Cyber/Infrastructure Threat Assessment Environment (INCITE) is an integrated, agile work environment (AWE) capable of ingesting, organizing, and visualizing unstructured and structured data. It allows users to readily identify, analyze, and reveal first, second, and even third order effects and perform effective vulnerability analysis upon avionics systems as well as network and computing (cyber) infrastructure. It leverages existing and proven simulation, analysis, data management, and visualization tools from TDKC, Edaptive Computing, Inc., and DMM Ventures, Inc. The product of the INCITE Phase II project will be multi-use, adaptable, user-friendly TRL-6-level technology, which applies to avionics and infrastructure susceptibility or vulnerability analysis and many other domains. INCITE interfaces easily with infrastructure and avionics modeling tools, CAD tools, circuit/system design tools, or other third-party simulation, design, or analysis tools, from system to component-level. Beginning with the Phase I INCITE architecture design and demonstrated software, Phase II will develop, test, assess, document, and demonstrate INCITEs capabilities using real-world data in two specific use-cases: an embedded avionics application and an infrastructure scenario. The resulting Phase II system will be Phase III ready and integrated into the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Avionics Vulnerability Assessment, Mitigation, and Protection (AVAMP) Test Bed.
