Description
Mission — Electronic Warfare Cyber Applied Research
This Program Element (PE) investigates and develops architectures, technologies, techniques, components, and tools to enhance Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) for Multi-Domain Joint Operations in tactical environments. These efforts aim to counter the adversary's Command, Control, Computing, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Targeting (C-C5ISR&T) capabilities and plan, target, execute Cyber effects through the employment of non-traditional access and effect vectors against adversarial systems, communication networks, and decision centers to reduce the adversary's ability to execute command and control of its forces. Additionally, these efforts will protect tactical wired and wireless networks against modern cyber-attacks, focusing on configuration, operation, monitoring, data integrity, and defense in bandwidth constrained tactical environments while reducing the operator workload required to conduct these functions. This PE will investigate key technologies that create windows of opportunity to provide significant operational advantage over adversaries. It will increase unit survivability and maneuverability and enhance the employment of non-kinetic effects in highly contested and congested electromagnetic environments. Work in this PE complements PE 0603276A (Electronic Warfare Cyber Advance Technology). The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army modernization strategy.
Mission — Autonomous Cyber Technology
This project investigates and applies robust cyber security techniques and applications to advanced communications and networking devices, software, algorithms and protocols utilized within wireless tactical networks to protect against nation state level Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) and maintain Warfighter confidence in network information, resources, identities and mission partners by hardening the blue force attack surface. This project investigates RF-enabled cyber approaches to Disrupt, Deny, Degrade, Destroy and Manipulate (D4M) adversary C2ISR systems and capabilities. Furthermore, in full alignment with ARCYBER "reprogrammability" efforts, this project will also focus on establishing new methodologies for the development of EW / OCO effects that are more readily implemented, upgradable and portable across different Army platforms. Work in this project complements Program Element (PE) 0603276A (Electronic Warfare Cyber Advanced Technology) / Project A80 (Autonomous Cyber Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army modernization strategy. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Command, Control, Computer, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (6)
Proactive Cyber Defense
This effort designs and characterizes software for the protection of information and networks in wireless tactical environments. The goal is to develop software algorithms that detect and defeat malicious activities of adversaries in bandwidth and highly resource constrained tactical networks and maintain agile, adaptive cyber maneuver. This research provides automated active defense (e.g., machine learning, anomaly detection, and decision aids) and adversarial resilient techniques to maintain cyber superiority (e.g., improved attack detection, advanced network traffic analysis, and predictive decision aids) against a large attack surface at the edge.
Predictive Intelligent Networking (PIN)
Investigate and develop various design patterns of Network Micro-segmentation to determine the lowest viable level of segmentation for the tactical network. Investigate and develop implementations in support of advanced zero trust concepts. This effort researches methods to enable the tactical network to autonomously identify, learn, predict, and react to changes in network operating conditions and network threats to ensure end-to-end network resiliency against adversarial AI-driven electronic attacks (EA) and cyberattacks.
RF Enabled Offensive Effects Technology
This effort investigates new methodologies for Disrupt, Deny, Degrade, Destroy and Manipulate (D4M) RF enabled cyber effects from Army tactical systems that are in RF proximity to adversary threat C2ISR capabilities. Research also focuses on novel EW technique approaches to keep pace with new threats and provide greater portability across all applicable Army systems. The effort will investigate new methodologies to counter adversary Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities across multiple modalities.
