SPACE & MISSILES CTF SUPPORT

As a Prime, Nexagen provided Test Management, Test Engineering, and Test Analysis Support services to the Space and Missiles CTF. We provided engineering support to the Arnold Engineering Development Complex. We captured hostile fire signature data that was then processed to expand the modeling and simulations capabilities necessary to enhance survivability of various DoD weapon systems. Nexagen provided technical advice and assistance to the DoD regarding test planning for the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent(GBSD) programs.

Under this contract, we supported United States Air Force Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Systems Directorate, Future Systems Division, and the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Integrated Test Team (ITT), and LDTO/ETO organization. We led the GBSD ITT Cybersecurity Working Group. For GBSD support, we conducted Cybersecurity self-assessment to ensure that the GBSD weapon system is ready for SCA-V assessment. We conducted inhouse self-assessment IAW DOD and Air Force Cybersecurity standards and regulations and best business practices and system specific requirements (TEMP and CDD, and SRS).

Our responsibilities included:

•Planned, developed, and coordinated cybersecurity testing and evaluation throughout the system acquisition milestones through EMD

•Performed and coordinated cybersecurity assessments of contractor weapon system designs

•Supported the ITT to solve issues related to Cybersecurity testing and evaluation

•Supported the development of the GBSD TEMP, EMD Statement of Work (SOW) and EMD Request for Proposal (RFP) and required DT cybersecurity test plans

•Provided narrative to Cybersecurity related sections of Milestone B TEMP.

•Provided CDT reports/analysis of Cybersecurity testing of components, subsystems, and systems.

•Reviewed and updated Cybersecurity artifacts in the Government Requirements Verification Matrix (RVM) for use in EMD and to assess architecture and design.

•Identified T&E resource requirements, including acquisition of test items, necessary facility upgrades, timeframes, schedules, and personnel.

•Delivered status briefings, plans, and results of Government test activities related to Cybersecurity to ITT & Cybersecurity WG.

Battle Command Tactical - Modernization (BCT-M) Program Cybersecurity and Information Assurance

As a subcontractor to Prime, Nexagen provided Cybersecurity and A&A (previous Certification and Accreditation) expertise for several different Manned and Unmanned BCT-M vehicular Information Systems. These included Network Integration Kit (NIK), Tactical and Urban Unattended Ground Sensors (T/U-UGS), Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV), Class I Unmanned Air System (UAS), Common Controller (CC), IO Kit and Incremental Battle Command Extension (IBEX) systems. Our roles and responsibilities included the following tasks:

Security Engineering Support: We provided requirements engineering for the Army BCT-M program. System IA requirements were derived from DoDI 8500.2, Army Regulation 25-2, DoD 5XXX series of policies, and DCID 6/3 PL3 and higher.

IA requirements non-compliance cases: performed Security Risk Assessments and derived get-well plans for IA requirement non-compliancy cases for review by the ISSM and SCA-V.

NSA/NIAP/NIST Certification: We developed the CDS certification documentation package for the NIK Dual Enclave configuration in support of the NSA-guided CDS Certification Test & Evaluation (CT&E). We also developed the Key Management Plan (KMP) for the CC Data At Rest (DAR) solution to be NIST Certified. Developed the Security Target for System of System Common Operating Environment (SOSCOE)’s NIAP certification.

Software Assurance: We developed guidance on Malicious Code Detection and Risk Management Process for BCT-M. We derived Software Assurance Section for BCT-M Software Development Plan (SDP). We also performed security risk assessments on reuse software types for BCT-M Software Configuration Control Board (SCCB) review and concurrence.

Self-Assessor Support: Conducted Self-Assessment ensuring robust secured System of System (SoS) implementation for ATO decision.

Certification and Accreditation Documentation Support: Developed and maintained Certification & Accreditation Documentation.
