Cyber 3 Assessment

This task is to perform a complete cybersecurity scan and cybersecurity accreditation assessment. This effort is in support of the cybersecurity Authorization to Operate (ATO). An approved Agent for the Security Control Assessor (ASCA) will perform the accredited assessments for the following SSC/SZQ accredited systems/enclaves:

• Upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR) Perimeter Acquisition Vehicle Entry Phased-Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS) enclave comprises systems at the following sites:
  • Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland, a UEWR system
  • Beale Air Force Base (AFB), California, a PAVE PAWS system
  • Royal Air Force (RAF) Fylingdales, United Kingdom (UK), a UEWR system.
  • Clear Air Force Station (AFS), Alaska, a Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS)
  • Cape Cod EWR at Cape Cod AFS, Massachusetts, a PAVE PAWS system
• BMEWS and PAVE PAWS Test and Development System (BPP T&DS) System Integration Lab (SIL) equipment suite in the Centralized Integration Support Facility (CISF) at Peterson SFB, Colorado.  The BPPT&DS SIL equipment suite supports the operational BMEWS sites and the PAVE PAWS sites.
• Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS) site at Cavalier AFS, North Dakota and their Software Development Suite (SDS) which is an onsite tool that emulates the PARCS Mission Data Processor (PMDP) for the purposes of software development, integration, and testing. PMDP is the actual IA-enabled computer hardware and software that performs most of the mission processing for PARCS. 
• PARCS Development, Integration and Testing System (PDITS) at Peterson SFB, Colorado.  PDITS supports the PARCS site.
• Cobra Dane (CD) on Shemya Island, Alaska, Eareckson AFS, a phased array radar.  Cobra Dane Transmitter System (CDTS) supports the Cobra Dane mission system.
