End-to-end engineering support for the warfighter's needs
JHNA's capabilities in Technology and Program Protection include major emphases in Cybersecurity and Anti-Tamper. Our Technology and Program Management staff provides direct support to DoD clients to implement the Risk Management Framework and Anti-Tamper solutions as part of development of program protection requirements. Our Technology and Program Protection core competency includes acquisition security, cyber resilience, cyber survivability, anti-tamper implementation and evaluation, and critical technology protection. These core capabilities provide an integrated approach to accomplish these solutions for government objectives:
- Future Capabilities Engineering·
- Program Support
- System Security Engineering
- International Programs Development and Execution
JHNA Technology and Program Protection EXPERTISE
Acquisition Security and Technology Transfer
JHNA has System Security Engineers (SSE) Subject Matter Experts (SME) selected to provide and/or support every aspect of the acquisition of Program Protection (PP) Engineering solutions from requirements definition through delivery processes. Our experts developed a template roadmap to Program Protection Letters of Concurrence (LOC) adopted by the customer to synchronize and guide Program Managers and Prime Contractor efforts to develop and deliver certifiable PP solutions. JHNA also has extensive experience in assessing existing and proposed Weapons Systems for Critical Program Information (CPI) and its required protections. Our SMEs have led and are supporting implementation and verification of the protection mechanisms required to enable the spectrum of Naval Air Weapons System Foreign Military Sales (FMS) to allies across the tiers of international cooperation. JHNA engineers define Protection Architectures and mechanisms that enable approved security for the transfer of sensitive technology.
JHNA currently provides foreign disclosure and export compliance expertise to a dozen NAVAIR program offices exporting a wide array of systems and technologies, and our SSE, Cyber and AT SMEs support export requirements that enable export of technologies to allies across the tiers of international cooperation.
Cyber Resiliency and Cyber Survivability
JHNA has been supporting NAVAIR cybersecurity requirements since the implementation of DOD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP). Our SMEs today are responsible for ensuring the security and compliance of systems across numerous NAVAIR programs following the RMF Assess & Authorize (A&A) process. Our SMEs conduct security categorizations and risk assessments and implement security controls based on the security categorization of the system. We perform system scans, implement Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) and Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Benchmarks, and address vulnerabilities. Our SSEs develop cyber survivability requirements, lead the program Cybersecurity Survivability Risk Assessments (CSRAs) and Cyber Table Tops (CTTs), and coordinate with NAVAIR Airworthiness to receive a Cybersafe certification.
Anti-Tamper and Critical Technology Protection
For more than two decades, JHNA has been the premiere Anti-Tamper Engineering support corporation for Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and the Unites States Marine Corps (USMC). JHNA authored the initial Navy Anti-Tamper Desk reference and the subsequent updates. Additionally, JHNA contributed extensively to the initial DoD Anti Desk Reference. JHNA System Security Engineer (SSE) Subject Matter Experts (SME) have operated in or supported all key elements of the design, development, testing, independent evaluation, production and operational support of the full spectrum of Anti-Tamper solution requirements across the Naval Air Weapons Systems portfolio. Whatever Anti-Tamper requirements are needed, JHNA has the experience and can provide the expertise needed to ascertain what should be done to obtain authoritative concurrence.
