## What project 2144 buys

To support Navy objectives in advancing Information Warfare (IW) capabilities, the Space and Electronic Warfare (SEW) Engineering project primary functions are: Develop the architectures, specifications and standards, tools, and processes to support a single integrated Navy Cybersecurity plan. Develop cybersecurity engineering criteria within Navy specific guidance to drive common and consistent implementation of security controls within a threat informed mission impact approach across current and future Navy Programs of Record/projects. This eliminates redundancies and inefficiencies characteristic of previous stove-pipe development efforts in which each system addressed security individually. These efforts enable a standardized approach to improve the Navy's cyber resiliency to Cyber Adversary's weaponization of IT/OT susceptibility to attack. Provide the cybersecurity vulnerability and functional test standards, which supports cybersecurity test requirements and the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence (C4I) components of Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWARSYSCOM) Information Warfare (IW) Kill Chain Testing for SYSCOM Red Team. NAVWAR develops and deploys innovative Naval approach for rapid delivery of software applications with emphasis on security & automation via Certified Continuous Integration (CI) / Continuous Delivery (CD) pipeline tools based upon NAVWAR designed SECDEVOPS services under SECNAV Rapid Assess & Incorporate Software Engineering (RAISE). This combination of Systems Commands functions, services and tools ensures Navy platforms in operational maritime environments can effectively defend and "fight through" cyber adversary attacks under a framework of mission thread analysis and assessment. NAVWAR establishes an integrated Enterprise Architecture to support design, development and delivery of integrated Navy Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR), Business Information Technology (IT), and Space System capabilities. This architecture reflects current (as-is) and future (target) end states to support technical analyses, program planning, and enterprise-level investment decisions across IW capabilities on both ashore and afloat platforms.

## Activities (R-2A) — 2

| Activity | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 | Move | Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| System of Systems (SoS) Cybersecurity and Capability Engineering | 25.3 | 25.0 | 22.8 | −9% | [a1](https://hitchintel.com/programs/0606355N/2144/a1) |

> 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.

### System of Systems (SoS) Cybersecurity and Capability Engineering

- Continue key efforts to develop technical architectures, tools, standards, and best practices to advance the Navy's integrated plan for effective implementation of resilient cybersecurity. These critical Cyber Security Technical Authority (CS TA) artifacts: (1) leverage CS TA Cyber Risk Assessments (CRA) to account for emerging cyber…

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.
