Warfighter’s Assured C2 Perspective

– Data Availability

– Data Integrity

– Data Confidentiality

Adversary’s Perspective

– The above present exploitable attack vectors

Must identify attack vectors, map materiel solutions and develop

appropriate policy and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP)

Must be addressed in a comprehensive, end-to-end architecture

– Individually addressing Availability, Integrity and/or Confidentiality

will not “Assure C2”

5

Agile policy underpins a comprehensive end to end architecture

Assured communications architecture despite the full range of

adversary actions, environment impacts, and EM Spectrum dynamics

There is no Silver Bullet– Asymmetric Space and Cyber threats require an architectural response

– Includes: Transport, Networks, Policy, Applications

New Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and TTP– Fleet will fight with significantly less network access

Joint, Interagency, and Coalition interoperability are paramount

Austere budget environment demands better decision-making, greater

agility, stronger partnerships with service providers

Assured EM Spectrum - Pathway to Navy Information Dominance

Assured C2 sets conditions for Navy commanders to maintain the IT-

enabled ability to exercise C2 authorities across the sea, land, air, space,

and cyberspace domains in heavily contested or denied operating

conditions.

Navy must continue to clearly define and manage capability-based Assured

C2 requirements and resources, and align those requirements and

resources with JIE/IC ITE through the IDEA

The primary beneficiaries of the effort to deliver Assured C2 capabilities are

the requirements stakeholders: USFF, USPACFLT, and USFLTCYBERCOM

subordinate commanders who execute Navy’s warfighting mission in all

domains.
