Trusted and Elastic Military Platforms and Electronic Warfare (EW) System Technologies (TEMPEST)

The Air Force Research Laboratory is seeking proposals for the development of methodologies, tools, techniques, and capabilities to identify susceptibilities and mitigate vulnerabilities in avionics systems, protect those systems against cyber-attack, and provide simulation capabilities required to develop, mature, and transition advanced sensor and avionics technologies. The goal is to explore new and emerging concepts related to development, integration, assessment, evaluation, and demonstration of cyber security, open system architecture (OSA), novel avionics and sensor technologies, and multi-domain technologies. Some key areas of interest include: * Technologies for assessing platform cyber security * Technologies for cyber-hardened platforms * Technologies for cyber-resilient platforms * Agile system architecture development and integration * Open system architectures for trusted and agile platforms * Technologies for modeling and simulation * Technologies to advance RF simulation * Techniques, methods, and technologies for measuring sensor system performance
