Agile Cyber Technologies 2 (ACT 2) Strategy Thomas Parisi ACT2 Program Manager
AFRL/RIGA
25 Oct 2016
Mike Verlinden Rules
UNCLASSIFIED
Program Description Scope: Execute tasks to achieve development and integration of cyber solutions contributing to the USAF Cyber Mission, as well as the Cyber Mission of partner organizations.
Includes rapid development, design, prototyping, demonstration, scenario development, experimentation & evaluation, integration, testing, technical installation, transition, and support through initial operations of cyber technologies for:
| 1) Cyber threat avoidance and cyber defense |
| 2) Full spectrum cyber operations |
| 3) Cyber network exploitation |
| 4) Cyber situational and mission awareness |
| 5) Cyber Infrastructure |
| 6) Cyber command and control |
| 7) Information network modeling, simulation, and wargaming |
| 8) Cyber mission assurance |
Target Value - $950M
Period of Performance – 60 Months
Type of contract – Multiple award IDIQ with CPFF/FFP delivery orders
ACT 2 in the Acquisition Lifecycle The ACT 2 contract will:
Facilitate development and integration of cyber technologies at points in between “product requirement” and “initial operational capability” Support cyber technology maturation and handoff to appropriate Systems Program Offices (SPO)
Funds Source Contract Vehicle
AFRL and External R&D Customers (RDT&E Funds)
System Program Office (RDT&E, Procurement, and O&M Funds)
Traditional R&D Contracts (BAA, SBIR, etc.)
SPO Managed Contracts ACT Multiple Award IDIQ
What is ACT 2?
A contract vehicle Multiple award Indefinite Deliverable Indefinite Quantity
A tool to aid in fulfillment of “urgent” and “novel” cyber requirements Technologies to be developed must be novel (i.e. the intention is NOT to procure simple “widgets”)
A tool to aid in lab/SPO/user collaboration A contract vehicle available for use by the R&D community, program office, and user The same contract vehicle used for technology development under R&D funding can be used for LRIP through IOC under SPO funding or initial deployment under user funding.
A catalyst to expedite administrative overhead of transition Allows transition of cyber solutions into IOC without the administrative burden of awarding a new contract after the technology development stage Users can “pilot” a technology under ACT in parallel with establishing sustainment contracts for FOC, avoiding further delay to the capability.
What is ACT 2 NOT?
ACT 2 is NOT a program.
There is no specific Program Element dedicated to ACT ACT is a contract vehicle enabling the cyber research community, program offices, and users to quickly derive and implement cyber solutions AFRL will NOT play the role of a systems program office
ACT 2 is NOT a funding source.
ACT 2 is NOT a way to circumvent the SPO.
ACT will facilitate collaboration between the R&D and SPO communities. ACT is not a replacement for either entity.
ACT 2 is NOT a contract vehicle for acquisitions not contributing to AF cyber mission.
AFRL’s mission does not permit directorates to act as government “contract shops” for general acquisitions
ACT 2 is NOT a vehicle for all Cyber S&T.
AFRL will utilize other contracting vehicles where appropriate (i.e. BAA, SBIR, Grants)
ACT 2 is NOT a vehicle for basic research or long term sustainment.
Who Will Benefit from ACT 2?
Warfighter!!!
Quick solutions to urgent problems Access to state of the art technology
Acquisition Community Bridges gap in technology transition A tool to facilitate rapid development
Industry A vehicle to quickly move government dollars to solution providers A conduit for collaboration amongst developers
Anticipated Funding Sources AFRL RDT&E Funds (mainly 6.3) Multiple technical directorates
Various USAF Cyber Programs of Record
USAF Space Command and the 24th Air Force
USCYBERCOM and supporting agencies
Current AFRL intelligence customers requiring cyber solutions
Other agencies contributing to the Department of Defense cyber mission
Summary ACT 2 will be a multiple award IDIQ contract Umbrella Contract: 60 Months Ceiling: $950M
ACT 2 will facilitate rapid and agile response to urgent cyber needs.
ACT 2 will enable development and fielding of cyber solutions
ACT 2 will be a tool to foster Lab, SPO, and user collaboration to expedite operational implementation of cyber solutions image3.png image9.jpeg image10.jpeg image11.jpeg image12.png image13.png image14.jpeg image15.jpg image16.jpg image1.png image2.png
