Anti-Tamper (AT) Technology Support. The Protective Technologies (PT) organization is the Army's Lead Technical Agent for the DoW AT program, which is focused on preventing exploitation/reverse engineering (RE) of U.S. systems lost or captured on the battlefield or sold via Foreign Military Sales (FMS) or Direct Commercial Sales (DCS). In support of this mission, PT's classified efforts are focused on independent AT Validation and Verification (V&V) activities with Army programs, AT/RE Lab facilities and equipment and AT/RE Lab assessments. This project funds these efforts for the U.S. Army to implement DoDD 5200-47e and AR 70-77. Work in this project is performed by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC).

FY2027 planned work Will continue to maintain the Protective Technologies (PT) core team of SMEs available for this ongoing mission to support the development and fielding of Army programs through the technical evaluation of their AT architectures as allocated funding allows. In support of its primary mission, PT must continue to build and maintain state-of-the-art reverse engineering (RE) capabilities to keep ahead of the growing threats and facilitate technical assessments to evaluate the vulnerabilities of micro-electronic components used in the electronic designs of Army weapons systems with critical program information (CPI) that requires protection.
