2 Requirements Process and Vectoring Air Force Cyber Requirements handled by 24 AF Arrive Top-Down and Bottom-up Short-term and Long-term needs Primarily 3 vectors based on urgency and available solutions RTOI Real Time Operations and Innovation (RTOI) less than 180 days conducted by organic 24 AF resources Rapid Cyber Acquisition Foundational Rapid less than 18 months conducted by AFLCMC Foundational greater than 18 months conducted by AFLCMC 2

3 What is Needed? The ability to better see the opportunities available Staying ahead of nimble adversaries and rapid tech changes Maintaining SA on innovation across industry, academia, govt The ability to better capitalize on those opportunities Tapping into disparate pools of innovators that already exist Overcoming Industrial Age acquisition processes The ability to field opportunities quickly Meeting Speed of Need via more collaborative partnerships Tighter integration of operator and ops commander early on Faster innovative application of warfighting capabilities Tighter partnerships with industry, academia, and government 3

4 We ve Been Here Before Lt Benny Foulois & Early Airpower Lockheed Skunk Works SMC Rapid Reaction Branch NRO Aerospace Data Facility Lab USAF Big Safari Each recognized the need to bring the right expertise together in order to provide more agile responses to the threats of their time. Each had to overcome internal processes in order to leap ahead of adversary advances. 4

5 Why Here? Why Now? We have the right people and organizations 24 AF / AFLCMC We have the right authorities Rapid Cyber Acquisition/Real-time Ops & Innovation We have many of the relationships already DoD, National Labs, Commercial, Academia It is a low cost of entry Most processes, personnel, equipment in place Lends naturally to consider a proving ground concept 5

6 Cyber Proving Ground - Vision Accelerate transition of advanced cyber concepts and emerging technologies to the operational community by leveraging innovative efforts across industry, academia, national labs, operators, and other visionaries. Think Big, Start Small, Scale Fast 6

13 Where We Are Today Emerging Concept s Academia Government Commercial FFRDCs Emerging Technologies & Concepts (across S&T, R&D, STEM Communities) ECTs currently in operation across OCO, DCO, and C2 CPG Projects: 23 On-going, 19 in Hopper Heavy on grass-roots innovation / test & assessments Few MUAs and Fly Offs at this time (this will change) Not leveraging industry and academia enough! Strengthening relationships with ops community Operations Community Collaboration / Participation Emerging Concept s Collaboration / Participation 13

14 Where We Are Today Foundry Floors / Cyber Proving Environment Classified FF Classified FF Several classified Foundry Floors already in place Supporting various ECTs across JBSA Unclassified Foundry Floor in build stage ETC: Mid CY2017 Robust CPE currently supports existing ECTs Leverages in-place JIOR and TexNet conduits to partner externally CPE will extend out to Unclassified FF Unclassified FF Classified Foundry Floor Cyber Proving Environment (CPE) Connections to other cyber environments 14

15 Where We Are Today Transition s Interim Transition comprised of a few AFLCMC personnel Bring resident acquisition/sustainment expertise Have pre-existing relationships with Cyber SPOs Currently working select CPG Projects as they complete in order to pilot processes Establishing relationships with, learning processes of, newer transition partners CYBERCOM, SOCOM, Non-cyber weapon system SPOs Other developer organizations (Currently government, expanding to non-gov) Developing/Codifying processes for different transition paths Will require more work on partnership mechanisms such as CRADAs and MOUs Transition More Dev TT Facilitates: - Transition back to Developer - Continued Awareness by The ORACLE Foundry Floor To the Field Transition TT Facilitates: - Initial Fielding Sppt - Sustainment Handoff 15

16 Where Are We Today The ORACLE Academia Government FFRDCs Commercial Emerging Technologies & Concepts (across S&T, R&D, STEM Communities) Maintain Awareness Actively Engage The ORACLE (Operator Research And Cyber Library Element) Maintain Awareness Threats Emergent AFCYBER Combatant Commands USCYBERCOM Warfighter Requirements Operations Community Emerging Concept s Provide to ECTs: Awareness of req mnts/intel Awareness of emerging tech/concepts Focused research support The most complex of the CPG elements and the least mature Flying as we Build Piloting several projects, expanding external opportunities Several Elements External Engagements Front Door Operations Project Adjudication and Validation Element Library and Research 16

17 Key Challenge Getting Innovation to the CPG Academia Government FFRDCs Commercial Emerging Technologies & Concepts (across S&T, R&D, STEM Communities)? Seeing Opportunities Organizing current relationships more effectively Identifying forums/orgs w/ broad networks Identifying those non-traditional opportunities Capitalizing on Opportunities Partnering mechanisms that meet speed of need For the operator And for the Innovator! Foundry Floor Cyber Proving Environment (CPE) Connections to other cyber environments 17

18 Key Challenge Getting Innovation to the CPG Legal/Policy Questions: How does CPG maintain awareness of external innovation? How does CPG share requirements with industry and academia? How does CPG select innovative opportunities to prove? If proven an immediate solution, how does CPG transition quickly to the field? If an enduring, long-term solution, how do we sustain it? If more development is required, how do we: Partner with other innovators? Transition to long-term development? Maintain awareness of future progress? Legal/Policy Considerations: Security Classification and Clearances Consideration of giving Unfair Advantage Protecting Proprietary Information Partnering Vehicles (OTAs, CRADAs, Contracts, etc.) Scalability of Solution Sustainability of Solution Sustainer of Solution (SPO, CDG, Other) 18

19 Wrap-up and So What CPG executing today under existing processes as we Further matrix personnel from 24AF and AFLCMC Codify critical processes and C2 structure Identify/prioritize new projects to pilot Determine loadshare of responsibilities, funding, etc. Why of interest to you? CPG is a resource to leverage today; capability will grow Will provide broad SA of innovation efforts across academia, government, and industry Lessons we learn may serve as a model for similar efforts within other Services IOC Now, FOC Expected Early CY17 19
