Job description

Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Dam Neck Activity’s (DNA) work is focused on providing engineering, acquisition, logistical, and Cybersecurity (CS) support to the Navy, Marine Corps, Special Warfare Coalition, and Joint Forces for programs including but not limited to Common Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE), Atlanta Weapon System (AtWS), NAVSEA Red Team, National Cyber Range Complex (NCRC), surface and sub training systems, and Risk Management Framework (RMF) Support for Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD).

With the growing number of breaches of tactical and non-tactical computer systems, there is an increasing need to focus on the engineering aspects of CS. CS continues to be approached as compliance-based and this has not addressed significant shortcomings and vulnerabilities in the security of naval warfare systems and other service warfare systems. CS requirements must be included during the design, development, and sustainment phases of systems acquisition to ensure they are secure and Cyber-resilient throughout their Life-Cycle. Additionally, previously designed, and fielded systems must be evaluated on an engineering basis to determine potential changes to their design or supportability approaches.

This Task Order provides CS engineering support to NSWCDD and NSWCDD DNA. Each have a requirement for CS engineering services that includes requirements for: analysis, secure design, Test and Evaluation (T&E), systems analysis and assessment, and Life-Cycle management. This Statement of Work (SOW) defines these requirements across the Systems Engineering V Model to clearly articulate the need for CS engineering within all stages of the system Life-Cycle.
