Anti-Terrorism - Detection, Indications, and Warnings

The scope of the IASM system addresses a "Defense in Depth" capability to greatly improve existing fleet cyber information assurance Indications and Warnings (IW-Defend). The basis for this proposal is to perform Research and Development (R&D) to expand the IASM system to add Information Operations (IO) functions for IW Protect and Exploit capabilities. This project affects several areas of the system and will require additional R&D activities in the following areas: · R&D for Protection and Exploitation capabilities to complement IASM's existing Indications, Warnings and Response (IW&R) capabilities. This may include procedures from simple exploits to complex multi-level diversions. · Perform R&D in the areas of IO Modeling, Warfare Modeling (e.g., including attack scenario development, attacker profiling, effectiveness, etc.) and Network Infrastructure Modeling · Expanding the IASM Cyber Warfare Laboratory (CWL) to support the modeled Target Operating Environment and the scope of Attack Scenario development needed to achieve the system objectives. This includes extension of our comprehensive, effective attack library adequate to support the attack scenarios determined during the course of the project. · Address Multi-Level Security development (MLS) issues.. · Enhancing the Promia IP sensor support for data evaluation and dissemination necessary to achieve system objectives. This may include performance enhancements to support the Common Information Management System (CIMS) system objectives. · Expansion of the IASM system for development of a seamless architecture to support common Information Exchange Requirements (IER). · Support for 802.11x wireless secured interoperable networks
