There are going to be all of those capabilities required as part of Unified Platform in support of U.S. Cyber Command,\u201d he said. \u201cI think there\u2019s going to be many opportunities to bring those.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force said that over the course of the Unified Platform program, the services expects to award &#8220;a mix of contracts to a broad array of vendors as part of its efforts to ensure superior development and deployment supporting our Cyber Mission Force. Standardization and interoperability are key pillars that will help propel Unified Platform capability and capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command has recently established a Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (JCWA) to guide capability development priorities. According to Nakasone\u2019s written testimony, this architecture consists of five elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Common firing platforms the four cyber operating locations of the service cyber components that will use a comprehensive suite of cyber tools;<\/li><li>Unified Platform, which will integrate and analyze data from both offensive and defensive operations with intelligence and partners;<\/li><li>Joint command and control mechanisms for situational awareness and battle management at the strategic, operational and tactical levels; <\/li><li>Sensors that support defense of the network and drive operational decision, and;<\/li><li>The Persistent Cyber Training Environment, which will provide individual and collective training as well as mission rehearsal. The Army is managing PCTE on behalf of Cyber Command and the joint force. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command\u2019s deputy commander, Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, told Congress in September that none of the services will be developing capabilities by themselves, but, rather, the command is designating a specific service to build each element of the architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019ll bring that into a common architecture where U.S. Cyber Command will set the standards, set the information exchange protocols and then each of the elements within are subordinate elements within Cyber Command will build those pieces and those components to a common standard,\u201d he said. \u201cWe get the idea that we don\u2019t want the services to build their own unique tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cyber Command has created joint standards for training and capabilities from the outset as leaders have asserted cyberspace is inherently joint. In fact, teams operate in a joint fashion and the presence of service-specific or developed tools creates unnecessary hurdles to joint cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone said acquisition priorities for the command include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The geographically distributed set of redundant and reliable infrastructures;<\/li><li>A virtual arsenal of capabilities comprising both open-source and high-end tools;<\/li><li>Implementation of cloud and engineering services in support of a big data platform;<\/li><li>Foundational architecture portions of the command\u2019s continuous monitoring capabilities, and;<\/li><li>A competitive cyber tool contract. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nakasone noted in his written testimony, as well as in a recent interview in <a href=\"https:\/\/ndupress.ndu.edu\/Portals\/68\/Documents\/jfq\/jfq-92\/jfq-92.pdf\" target=_blank>Joint Force Quarterly<\/a>, that cyber tools are much more unique than traditional munitions, requiring a much more agile force to develop and deploy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWeapons like [Joint Direct Attack Munitions] are an important armament for air operations. How long are those JDAMs good for? Perhaps 5, 10 or 15 years, sometimes longer given the adversary,\u201d he told Joint Force Quarterly. \u201cWhen we buy a capability or tool for cyberspace \u2026 we rarely get a prolonged use we can measure in years. Our capabilities rarely last six months, let alone six years. This is a big difference in two important domains of future conflict. Thus, we will need formations that have ready access to developers. Also, developers who understand how to complement the work of our operators in a rapid, agile manner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyber Command is moving out on several
