Summary

[Analyzed from API Fallback] The U.S. Air Force, via the REDACT program (FA8750-26-S-7003), is seeking innovative research to develop adversary system-of-systems analysis for cyber targeting. This effort is intended to support the Air Force, USCYBERCOM, and other mission partners. The scope includes requirements evaluation, proof-of-concept technology development, and deploying technology into operationally realistic environments for evaluation. The ultimate goal is to enable mission partners to create and optimize Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) against evolving threats.
