Solution Abstracts
The Army Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE) is seeking solutions to address emerging or existing challenges. TechNet Augusta attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to submit potential solutions to one of the problem statements below.
What to Expect
Visibility: Title, speaker and abstract details will be published in the following locations: TechNet Augusta Solution Review Showcase webpage, TechNet Augusta Digital Show Guide, TechNet Augusta program agenda (available via web and mobile app), and the SIGNAL Magazine Solution Review Showcase compendium, published and shared with attendees via the conference website.
Location: Engagement Theater - Exhibit Hall, Booth #520, Augusta Convention Center
Set-Up: Designed to encourage interaction and engagement, the space will include a combination of theater style and high-top tables for up to 30 participants. A monitor, laptop and small sound system will be available. Presenters may choose to supply their own laptop. (Internet connectivity will not be provided.)
Presentation Length: Time slots are available in 20-minute increments, including Q&A. We encourage presenters to invite attendees back to their exhibit booth to field additional questions.
Additional Notes:
- A $1,495.00 administrative fee will be charged to offset operating costs if selected to present.
- Preference will be given to companies that are sponsoring and/or exhibiting at TechNet Augusta.
- Session content, speakers and schedule are subject to AFCEA International review and approval.
- All abstracts received via the submission portal, regardless of whether they were selected for presentation or not, will be included in a SIGNAL Magazine compendium and made available to attendees via the conference website.
Abstract submissions will close on Sunday, June 29th at 11:59PM (EST). *Please clearly identify the problem statement you are responding to in your abstract submission.
Problem Statements
Problem Statement 1:
How can technology act as a surrogate, threat transceiver(s) that can receive RF enabled cyber-attacks and can demonstrate battle damage because of the RF enabled cyber-attack. Transceiver(s) must be able to support C2, UAS control, and data links.
Problem Statement 2:
How can technology import and ingest data from multiple feeds, sources, and formats? Does the tech aggregate and analyze data? Can tech create and have interactive (filters) digital display to inform users of mission-relevant atmospherics, information, and data?
Problem Statement 3:
How can technology ingest data from multiple sensors, geo tag data, and aggregate for analysis? Can technology do predictive analysis based on preconditioned filters? Can this technology integrate data into mission command systems?
Problem Statement 4:
How does the Army tag, pass, and ensure EW-relevant data at machine speed ISO EW OPs to ensure availability to all required stakeholders in an EMS degraded environment?
Problem Statement 5:
How can the Army rapidly adopt ML-enabled EA technique optimization for unknown signals with minimal hardware/platform additions?
Problem Statement 6:
Many modern solutions require integration with multiple vendor technologies to achieve optimal results. To foster innovation and accelerate the delivery of capabilities, we are exploring opportunities for collaborative experimentation. Specifically, how willing would your organization be to participate in joint experimentation activities with other vendors – potentially including sharing non-proprietary data and test environments – to demonstrate the interoperability and combined value of your respective solutions? What mechanisms or agreements would be necessary to facilitate such collaboration while protecting your intellectual property?
Problem Statement 7:
What challenges are you (Vendor) facing while integrating AI with your technologies (e.g., data/compute requirements, security and trust, integration or implementation, cost)?
Problem Statement 8:
Recent conflicts have shown that Transmission Security (TRANSEC), the ability to protect and mask the data path, is equally as important as COMSEC, since unprotected RF transmission is easily jammable and being used by aggressors for targeting. What is industry doing to ensure radio and other communication systems developed for the force are outfitted with TRANSEC capabilities that meet todays and future threats?
Problem Statement 9:
What technology exists, or is in development, that the Army has not yet experimented with that could act as a “game-changer” for assured voice and data communications at echelon?
Problem Statement 10 - Information Advantage:
How would your company’s solution provide the Theater Information Advantage Detachment (TIAD) with a unified tools and integrated systems platform to manage and operate its Information activities within an assigned theater? Specifically, how would the solution address and support data sensing/collection, data management, advanced analytics (AI/ML applications), data visualization, comprehensive cybersecurity, and monitoring and influence of the information environment to support the TIAD’s contribution to Army Multidomain Operations (MDO)?
Problem Statement 10 - DCO:
To what extent can you develop a solution that leverages AI/ML to proactively enhance mission network defense by providing an agentless capability to emulate realistic peer/near-peer adversary Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) for access to people, processes, and systems, while simultaneously augmenting cyberspace defenders in the tactical environment with intelligent threat identification and data movement analysis – encompassing both vertical and horizontal data flow across the mission network and its Mission Partner Environment (MPE).
