## What project 3244 buys

This effort funds a continuing cybersecurity program, Situational Awareness Boundary Enforcement and Response (SABER), and a maturing Cybersecurity project, High Availability Virtual Environment (HAVEN). SABER is the research, design, development, testing, and installation of Cybersecurity solutions for installed integrated computer networks to include shipboard Hull Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E), Navigation Systems, Combat Systems, Fire Control, Sonar, Radar, Communications, and other shipboard computerized control systems for all afloat U.S. Navy platforms. SABER provides network boundary defense and situational awareness to protect and detect against external and internal cybersecurity-threats. HAVEN is a secure operating environment that provides a resilient and redundant infrastructure platform for rapid software deployment and system restoration. HAVEN provides the secure operating environment for SABER and a secure hosting environment. HAVEN has been considered a part of SABER and continued HAVEN development has led the Navy to understand that this capability may have use beyond hosting SABER.

**R-3 lines of work:** Product Development; Support; Management Services.

> Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. In the request year they partition this project exactly; in earlier years they can under-cover it.

### SABER

-SABER will begin the design and development of SABER capabilities in the Combat Systems and Navigation afloat functional domains. This will include stand up of a new Boundary Defense & Situational Awareness Solution (BD&SAS) CS/NAV Mid-Tier Acquisition program, design of new two-rack solution to minimize overall footprint and simplify…

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
