Description

The main objective of Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) for this project is to develop the Avionics Systems Susceptibility and Risk Analysis Toolkit (ASSURANT) and supporting method to enable avionics and systems engineers and cyber defense experts to comprehensively perform susceptibility assessments of avionics and platform systems as well as information and communications technology (ICT) supply chains, and determine how mitigation and protection strategies reduces risk and ensure mission success. The second Phase II will leverage and extend the Phase II method and prototype ASSURANT application and will result in the design and implementation of a hardened toolkit for supporting a number of military applications, including avionics risk assessment, mitigation and protection, ATO artifact generation, attack path analysis and cyber-physical systems vulnerability analysis. Potential commercialization applications include risk assessment for critical infrastructure protection and homeland security environments.
