Program Narratives

MissionData Management

USCYBERCOM's mission is to deter or defeat strategic threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of the Joint Force Commander's objectives.

MissionCloud & Unified Platform

Cloud and Unified Platform (UP) provides U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) an interoperable software infrastructure and data-centric capabilities to achieve analytic superiority in cyberspace. Unified Platform provides the cloud-based infrastructure for the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) that enables integration of cyberspace operations capabilities, systems, data and analytics for Cyber Mission Forces. Cross Domain Solution (CDS) will deliver development and subject matter expertise to enable a scalable cross domain solution for JCWA based on industry best practices and requirements specified within National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) Raise The Bar (RTB) Strategy’s Baseline, and National Security Memorandum (NSM)-8 “Improving the Cybersecurity of National Security, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community Systems."

MissionCross Domain Solution (CDS)

Cross Domain Solution will deliver development and subject matter expertise to enable a scalable Cross Domain Solution for Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) based on industry best practices and requirements specified within National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) Raise The Bar (RTB) Strategy’s Baseline, and NSM-8 “Improving the Cybersecurity of National Security, Department of Defense, and Intelligence Community Systems."

MissionUnified Platform

Unified Platform (UP) provides U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) Operational Forces a Joint cyber operations infrastructure enabling full-spectrum cyberspace operations to include synchronization, integration, and interoperability at the operational through tactical levels of warfare for all Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) components. UP capabilities provide core Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure, data and analytics, and common services to enable seamlessly integrated, adaptable, and evolving warfighting capabilities. - Core IT Infrastructure includes computation and storage resources, message transport, and a software development environment that enable rapid deployment and integration of applications, analytics, visualizations and capabilities at speed and scale. - Data and analytics are the integrated set of technologies, standards and processes necessary to ingest, store, share, enrich, manage and analyze authoritative data sources to support offensive and defense cyberspace operations with the intelligence community, mission partners, the private sector and other stakeholders. - Common Services provide capabilities such as identity management, common access, collaboration, modeling and communication capabilities that support the development, integration, interoperability and synchronization across applications. This program element includes non-USCYBERCOM civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver existing and emergent weapon system capability funds.

MissionUnified Platform

Unified Platform (UP) provides U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) the Cyber Mission Forces and Service cyber components a joint cyber operations infrastructure enabling full spectrum cyberspace operations at the operational through tactical levels of warfare as part of USCYBERCOM's Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA). USCYBERCOM requires an interconnected and interoperable cyber infrastructure to conduct integrated planning and execution of cyberspace operations to meet Combatant Commanders' requirements. UP delivers this capability through the integration of disparate firing platforms, existing or evolving systems, infrastructure, mission capabilities, data analytics, and programs used for military cyberspace operations to build on interoperable and scalable network for cyber capabilities. UP Foundational Efforts provide for research, development, prototype maturation, integration, enhancement, delivery, and enduring product support of the UP capability to ensure responsiveness to warfighter requirements within operationally relevant timeframes. UP Foundational Efforts provide a flexible, agile development/security/operations (DevSecOps) capability to generate new capabilities, integrate existing and emerging technologies, incorporate rapid prototyping efforts, and evolve the UP baseline on an iterative basis. In addition, UP Foundational efforts include both the management of the DevSecOps capabilities which includes systems engineering, risk management, contracting, test, and program management, as well as the active research and capability development to be conducted for the UP baseline. This program element includes non-USCYBERCOM civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver existing or emergent support weapon system capability in accordance with a USCYBERCOM Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with US Air Force.

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (4)

Unified Platform

UP provides the cloud-based infrastructure for the Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) that enables integration of cyberspace operations capabilities, systems, data and analytics for Cyber Mission Forces. UP implements a disciplined agile development/security/operations (DevSecOps) environment to rapidly develop and deliver capabilities to meet USCYBERCOM Operational needs.

Data Management

USCYBERCOM's mission is to deter or defeat strategic threats to US interests and infrastructure, provide mission assurance for the operations and defense of the Department of Defense information environment, and support the achievement of the Joint Force Commander's objectives.

Cross Domain Solution (CDS)

The CDS effort provides critical cross domain solutions for the JCWA. Effort enables staff redundancy, scalability for additional geographic locations, support for auxiliary and support functions, increased security support, and the ability to address unanticipated requirements, to include but not limited to design, engineering, integration, sustainment and documentation. This aids USCYBERCOM's management of the cross-domain data flow requirements as necessary to support JCWA integration efforts enabling secure transport of data across multiple network classifications in a secure and compliant manner.

Unified Platform (UP)

Develop, integrate, and deliver the UP capability through the rapid and agile development of requirements via a DevSecOps pipeline. UP requirements are warfighter-derived under the framework of validated UP requirement documents and met using agile development teams, integration of USCYBERCOM and the Service capabilities, or external prototyping activities. UP capabilities are developed within the government led UP Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment DevSecOps pipeline ,leveraging a common pipeline baseline maintained by Platform One. This pipeline provides a common system development, integration, and staging environment to permit collaborative development. Developmental efforts will be verified for security compliance and tested to ensure development meets established security and performance criteria.
