Program Narratives
Mission— ARLIS and CTPIC
The Defense Counterintelligence Security Agency (DCSA) is a strategic asset to the nation and our allies - continuously ensuring a trusted federal, industrial, and affiliated workforce, and enabling industry's delivery of uncompromised capabilities by leveraging advanced technologies and innovation. DCSA uniquely blends critical technology protection, trusted personnel vetting, counterintelligence, and professional education and certification to advance and preserve America's strategic edge. The programs which fall under the Defense Joint Counterintelligence Activities are the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) and the Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell (CTPIC). Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) program management office oversees the University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) to provide strategic research and development to solve intelligence and security problems. ARLIS overlays human behavior and social science and culture and language expertise with expertise, research, and development in emerging and advanced technologies to solve increasingly technical, but human-centered intelligence and security challenges. RDT&E funding will be used for strategic research efforts that broadly benefit the Defense Security Enterprise (DSE) and develop capability and capacity at ARLIS that work sponsors can build on. The Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell (CTPIC) is a whole-of-government engagement effort to deter, detect, and disrupt the unauthorized technology transfer activities of our adversaries. CTPIC serves as the DoD focal point for assessments, coordination, integration, and operational information sharing related to critical technology protection across all phases of research, development, and sustainment. This funding is needed for data access and analysis tools that support prioritization of limited resources and direct focused engagements addressing targeted threat information and mitigation actions.

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security and Critical Technology Protection Integration Cell
Research for Intelligence & Security Challenges (RISC) - For the ARLIS summer 2024 internship program, approximately 44 RDT&E funded students were competitively selected to participate from an applicant pool of hundreds and completed 19 projects during the summer program. Of the 44 students, 33 received Secret clearances during the summer program. Using United States Army Communications Electronics Command (CECOM) contract through DCSA's arrangement with Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for research advisor providing expertise in developing, executing, and transitioning applied research to solve DSE and Defense Intelligence Enterprise problems required to improve research requirement development, these efforts increased understanding of existing applicable scientific literature and research and research best practices, and successfully articulated research requirements helping to expedite application of research outcomes. ARLIS FY24 RDT&E funded Human Research Protection Office support for review of projects involving human subjects research provided via support agreement with U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command. This support enabled two Human Research Protection Office reviews of two Defense Innovation Unit research projects (independently funded by USD(I&S) dealing with modernizing current polygraph technologies). CTPIC - Lead a program to develop and automated tracking mechanism to identify and deconflict cleared contract facilities working on Department-wide Critical and Emerging Technologies (C&ET) identified in the USD(R&E) Critical Programs and Technologies List (CP&TL).
