Program Narratives

MissionCyber Command and Control

Cyber Command and Control (C2) provides Combatant Commanders, Joint Force Commanders and Service Component Commanders with enhanced situational awareness and battle management for cyberspace operations missions and forces. C2 establishes congressionally directed focal point to provide integrated C2 solutions to all echelons for execution of cyberspace operations to enable and accelerate planning/collaboration between Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) and Combatant Commands (CCMD). This program will integrate Cyber Command and Control (C2) with Joint, Coalition and inter-agency C2 to enhance multi-domain operations, reduce planning time, improve decision quality and speed resulting in a shorter kill chain. Capabilities will be developed to address the CMF used to conduct cyberspace operations. Additionally, it will leverage and utilize a Continuous Infrastructure/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Framework to pace development with warfighter need. C2 development activities include but are not limited to rapid prototyping, development of software/hardware systems; integration and transition of lab developed cyber capabilities to the warfighter; testing and evaluation; program management, studies, analysis, pilots, and demonstrations; risk reduction for emerging technologies; and development and assessment of operational systems for inclusion into C2 to meet capability requirements. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year. This program element includes civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver existing or emergent support weapon system capability in accordance with USCC MOA with US Air Force.

MissionCyber Command and Control (C2)

JCC2 provides Combatant Commanders, Joint Force Commanders, and Service Component Commanders with enhanced Situational Awareness and Battle Management for cyberspace operations missions and forces. JCC2 establishes a congressionally directed focal point to provide integrated C2 solutions to all echelons for execution of cyberspace operations to enable and accelerate planning/collaboration between Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) and Combatant Commands (CCMD). JCC2 integrates Cyber Command and Control (C2) with joint, coalition and inter-agency C2 to enhance multi-domain operations, reduce planning time, and improve decision quality and speed--resulting in a shorter kill chain. Capabilities are developed to address the needs of the CMF conducting cyberspace operations. Additionally, the program leverages and utilizes a Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Framework to pace development with warfighter needs. JCC2 development activities include but are not limited to: rapid prototyping, development of software systems; integration and transition of lab developed cyber capabilities to the warfighter; testing and evaluation; program management, studies, analysis, pilots, and demonstrations; risk reduction for emerging technologies; and development and assessment of operational systems for inclusion into JCC2 to meet capability requirements. JCC2 is a critical capability that enables global cyber offensive and defensive military operations and ensures cohesive and efficient command structures, thus enabling robust coordination and execution of cyber missions. Situational Awareness tools gather, process, and disseminate real-time intelligence of cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and activities, leading to a comprehensive situational picture that allows commanders to make informed real-time decisions. By integrating data from various sensors, networks, intelligence sources, JCC2 provides a unified view of the cyberspace landscape. In addition, Battle Management (BM) expedites detailed mission planning, execution, mission monitoring, and assessments, ensuring that cyber operations are aligned to strategic objectives and allowing commanders to effectively coordinate cyber defenses, attacks, and other operations with precision. BM enables efficient allocation of cyber resources, including skilled personnel, tools, and capabilities to areas of operations most needed. This ensures optimal use of available assets to achieve mission success. The program is comprised of four major application capability areas: • Threat Awareness Sharing Capability (TASC) – 12 unique capabilities that provide cyber threat assessment, monitoring, reduction, detection, and response. • Mission Assurance Decision Support System (MADSS) - Mission Assurance System of Record for identifying the critical infrastructure required to execute DoD’s numbered missions. • JCC2 Cyber Operations (JCO) – Platform that enables operators to manage missions throughout the entire mission lifecycle as well as visualize mission data and operational environments. • JCC2 – Readiness (JCC2-R) – a single application leveraging several authoritative data sources to host personnel, training, qualification, and mission readiness data. The JCC2 program releases incremental capabilities to the cyber operational forces every 2 days to 4 weeks, depending on the application.

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)

Cyber Command and Control (C2)

Program activities occur at multiple operating locations, to support development and evaluation activities, and Joint Cyber C2 (JCC2) baseline efforts to provide capabilities. Actions include system and software engineering, risk management, developmental framework management, and the execution of acquisition activities.

Joint Cyber Command and Control

Program activities occur at multiple operating locations to support development and evaluation activities and JCC2 baseline efforts to provide capabilities. Actions include system and software engineering, field operations and training support, risk management, developmental framework management, and the execution of acquisition activities. Accomplishments and planned programs include the following: provide management services; develop application program interfaces for development and integration of data sources; develop a framework for expedient and flexible requirements gathering, processing, and capability delivery; migrate capabilities to cloud service to streamline scaling and support faster delivery, to include migration to the JCC2 Amazon Web Service (AWS) managed environment; enhance automation for mapping/monitoring of mission relevant terrain at all domains; integrate Situational Awareness and Battle Management capabilities in support of the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) requirements construct and scale and deliver capability through an agile development model, delivering operational capabilities as determined by the governance process. Accomplishments include: • Fully integrated the TASC suite on Unified Big Data Platform (BDP) across NIPR, SIPR, JWICS, giving Combatant Commanders (CCMD) real-time data analytics to make critical decisions on cyber operations. • Delivered Mission Assurance capability on JWICS, facilitating USSTRATCOM’s ability to execute Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) enterprise cyber operations ensuring integrated deterrence against potential adversaries. • Delivered synchronized JCC2-R training mission application with Joint Cyber Operations (JCO), streamlining mission assignment/deconfliction of best qualified operators for global and regional tasking in support of unified joint cyber operations.
