Mission— DEFENSE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE - MISSION ASSURANCE

This project supports the development of a series of advanced analytic efforts to more effectively identify risks and threats to Surge-Layer Defense and, more broadly, DoD’s Mission Assurance (MA) as identified in the current Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance (INDSG). The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as the DoD Center of Excellence for Mission Assurance Assessments has been tasked by Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Defense Continuity and Mission Assurance with leading change within the MA community on behalf of OSD to ensure best practices are documented during Joint Mission Assurance Assessments, Balanced Survivability Assessments, and Red Team Assessments. Including but not limited to dependency analysis, asymmetric threats, cyber operations, general engineering, security operations, and emergency management. In partnership with the Critical Infrastructure Defense Analysis Center (CIDAC) and the U.S. Department of the Navy's Defense Critical Infrastructure - Mission Assurance program, DTRA’s Mission Assurance program will perform mission analyses; engineering, and commercial infrastructure network interdependency analyses; MA assessments; information enterprise design, implementation, and support; and defense industrial base supply chain network and related analysis. Efforts provide broad leadership, best practices, research, development, coordination, and support to DoD Components around specific focus areas to drive solution-oriented efficiencies, collaboration, and results that benefit the entire DoD MA enterprise.
