BAE Systems has been selected by DARPA to develop data-driven, cyber-hunting tools that detect and analyse cyber threats to help protect extremely large enterprise networks, the company announced on 7 August.
The combined value of the contract for Phase one, two and three of the programme is around $5.2 million.
DARPA’s Cyber-Hunting at Scale (CHASE) programme intends to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate new, automated cyber-defence tools to be used within and across these types of networks.
BAE Systems’ solution, which combines advanced machine learning and cyber-attack modeling, intends to address this critical need by automatically detecting and defeating advanced cyber threats that could currently go undetected. The result could be better-defended commercial networks, using existing storage and existing resources. The technology could also be used to help protect government and military networks.
BAE Systems’ subcontractors and research partners on the CHASE programme include Digital Operatives, and teams from Carnegie Mellon University and New York University.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
