Air Force Cyberspace Symposium 16 July 2008

1. Air Force Cyberspace Symposium 16 July 2008 Lt Gen Michael Peterson Chief of Warfighting Integration and Chief Information Officer

2. Our Priorities are Clear • Win Today’s Fight… …Global Vigilance, Global Reach, Global Power • Take Care of Our People… …Airmen are our most valuable “weapon” • Prepare for Tomorrow’s Challenges… …Airmen must have the right tools

3. We Have Work to Do • It’s Cyberspace with a Capital “C” • AF Consensus on a Way Ahead • Doctrine • Organizational Structures • Cyber Capabilities • Force Development

4. Cyberspace with a Capital “C”

5. Leveraging an Information-Rich Environment Current Configuration Target Configuration • Stove-piped connectivity solutions • Reliant on voice communications • Limited information sharing • Minimal air-to-ground connectivity • Standardized connectivity solutions • Voice and data exchange • Robust information sharing • Integrated air-space-ground networks Controlling an Integrated Network Requires a Robust C2 System!

6. Air Force Cyber Control System • Cyber Control System: Produces and manages effects-based operations in the electromagnetic spectrum by directing essential NetOps tasks & enabling Network Attack operations. • Like in the aerospace domain (with IADS), commanders need the same capability with their IT systems in cyberspace! • Centralized Cyberspace (Battlefield) Global Situational Awareness • “Normal” Network Traffic vs. Attack? • Effective / Efficient Cyber C2 • Information Dissemination • Sensors Operating the CCS Requires a Highly Trained Cyber Workforce!

7. Advanced Tactical Data-LinkTactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) • Working to replace legacy data-links like Link-16 • TTNT is the leading candidate under the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program • High-throughput (10 Mbps), IP-based airborne networking • Integrating on the F-22A for high-threat operations TTNT extends our digital network to the battlefield

8. Objective Airborne Gateway From concept demonstration in JEFX… …to established Air Force program Airborne gateways bridge the air, ground, and space networks

9. Leveraging Cyberspace in GWOT Predator Remote Split Operations

10. Leveraging Cyberspace in GWOTData Link Automated Reporting System Link 16 Link 16 – Fuel – Vector and flight path – Target assignment– Target engagement status – Platform status – Weapons status Aircraft Status DLARS provides critical mission data to decision makers

11. Leveraging Cyberspace in GWOTDeployed Battlefield Air Operations Kit • AFSOC Special Tactics Battlefield Air Operations (BAO) Kit deployed with all Special Tactics personnel • Blue force tracking, targeting, moving maps, Small / Micro UAVs • Feeds JSOTF and AOC Weapon Systems (JADOCS) • No manual entry, all machine to machine • Reduces approval to execution time by 70% Link-16 RAVEN Cursor on Target (CoT) CoT CoT SOF Approval AOC Approval Blue Force Systems BAO Kit

12. We Have Work to Do • AF Consensus on a Way Ahead • Doctrine • Organizational Structures

13. Cyber Capabilities • Build Security Into the Network • Link C2 Systems into Global, Seamless Capability • Reinforce Culture of Integration (Air Space & Cyber) • Electromagnetic Spectrum Mgt/Exploitation • CAN/CND/CNE Tools -- Keep Pressing

14. Force Development • Officer • Operator Focus • Breadth of Opportunities to Grow/Advance/Lead • Enlisted • Expert Technician • Advance to Senior NCO or Transition to Civilian • Civilian • Technical Foundation of the Force • Opportunities to Grow both Technically and as a Leader
