Command and Control, Cyber, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (CRISR) and Cyber Tactical Measures

Abstract : The objective of this effort was to research and document gaps in National Security and identify potential solutions. Scientific and technical information regarding current capabilities, gaps and vulnerabilities were explored to counter adversarial Command and Control, Cyber, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) capabilities. The research addressed a number of areas of high interest affecting National Security. This effort provided scientific and technical information by researching capability gaps within current government solutions, identifying vulnerabilities and weighing solutions for new gaps. The effort determined the alternatives, identified associated risks, and provided potential solutions in various technical areas such as C4ISR and other related technologies. Rapidly evolving technology developments from both commercial and military sources have the potential to enable new National Security capabilities that may not be envisioned in current AF strategic master plans. In addition, these plans typically do not provide sufficient metrics for technology investment decisions. The National Security C45ISR and Cyber Tactical Measure project researched innovative solutions of evolving technology developments from both commercial and military sources, and identified new useful technology supporting S and T.
