ICATS Phase II SBIR Award

 

Posted on August 21st, 2019

​

Dignitas Technologies was awarded a Phase II SBIR for the Intelligent Cyber Adversaries Tool Suite (ICATS). ICATS provides intelligent adversaries to support cyber training for LVC training systems. It provides models of opposing force cyber offensive and defensive adversaries in order to provide automated forces for cyber forces under training in LVC systems. It allows cyber trainees to interact with simulated cyber entities in the cyber space in a similar manner as maneuver trainees interact with Computer Generated Forces (CGF) forces in the kinetic space. The cyber adversaries will mount realistic offensive actions on BLUFOR cyber elements based on known threats. It will also engage in active defense of its own cyber elements using typical cybersecurity approaches.

ICATS adversaries will use artificial intelligence planning technologies to conduct cyber activities ensuring that trainees don't always receive the same prescriptive approach. Data collection on cyber activities successes and failures will be used as part of machine learning algorithms to adjust free responses over time. ICATS will provide a credible cyber OPFOR to bring cyber mission forces into training in existing and planned LVC systems.

Dignitas Technologies, established in 2004, is dedicated to understanding customer Modeling, Simulation, & Training (MS&T) needs and providing specialized, architecture-centric, agile solutions. We specialize in system and software analysis, design, development, testing, and fielding of MS&T and mission rehearsal applications.
