- Perform basic and applied research in cyber warfare, its enabling technologies, techniques, and theory.
- Design and develop network, systems, services and application architectures that support the rapid development and implementation of new technologies and capabilities that reflect the rapidly evolving techniques which characterize cyber attacks.
- Analyze, design, develop, document, integrate, test, install and maintain cyber warfare and enabling capabilities.
- Develop, implement, and integrate solution sets that enable a holistic command and control capability, with appropriate underpinning technologies and capabilities, that provide for interagency communication and collaboration of cyber activities.
- Serve as the test site (via the SSC PAC labs and other government facilities) for interoperability testing among cyber warfare systems, tools, technologies and processes (both existing and new) prior to their introduction to operational environments.
- Participate in cyber technology forums.
- Provide operational support to assist in technical and programmatic oversight of cyber warfare and enabling systems, programs and functions.
