Technology Protection & Anti-Tamper Engineering
We shape policy, drive implementation, and deliver resultsSECURING BATTLEFIELD SYSTEMS
With over 20 years of uninterrupted support to NAVAIR, we have earned recognition as the premier provider ofProgram Protection and AT support.
JHNA’s TSA experts shape policy, drive implementation, and deliver results that safeguard U.S. technologies and missions. From Cybersecurity and Anti-Tamper to SCRM and beyond, we integrate layered defense across programs. Embedded in critical DoD efforts, our SMEs lead DoN ATET evaluations and help shape acquisition security policy through tools, references, and strategic guidance. Whether securing battlefield systems or enabling international partnerships, we deliver resilient, mission-ready solutions across the force.
JHNA's TECHNOLOGY AND PROGRAM PROTECTION EXPERTISE
Technology and Program Protection, anchored by Anti-Tamper (AT), is a mandated requirement across all DoD acquisition programs. These safeguards are implemented across the full lifecycle of vulnerable weapon and information systems. We bring these capabilities to every service branch—Army, Navy, and Air Force—ensuring CPI is protected through research, development, acquisition, fielding, and sustainment.
We support domestic, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) programs by identifying and mitigating risks such as reverse engineering, tech exploitation, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
With over 20 years of uninterrupted support to NAVAIR, TSA has earned recognition as the premier provider of Program Protection and AT support. Our legacy includes:
- Foundational Leaders: Developed the Navy’s first CPI Work Breakdown Structure and pioneered CPI Assessments. We established the blueprint for NAVAIR Program Protection.
- Tool Innovators: Created the MARCORSYSCOM Technology Protection Tool and a web-based CPI Assessment & Criticality Analysis platform through a Strategic Capabilities Office SBIR.
- AT Authorities: Lead and support the Navy’s Anti-Tamper Evaluation Team (ATET), authored the DoN AT Desk Reference, and contributed to the DoD-wide AT Implementation Guide and Framework.
- Embedded Experts: Our SSEs are fully integrated into NAVAIR programs, delivering hands-on compliance and mission-focused solutions tailored to the warfighter.
OUR SERVICE ADVANTAGES
To guard against exploitation by strategic competitors, the DoD uses risk-based measures to protect critical systems and technologies. Threats such as unauthorized access, reverse engineering, FMS misuse, and unintended tech transfer demand a proactive defense.
Program Protection is a holistic approach to preserving the U.S. national investment in advanced technologies, integrating System Security Engineering disciplines such as:
- Critical Program Information (CPI) identification
- Vulnerability assessments and attack vector analysis
- Threat categorization
- Cybersecurity
- Anti-Tamper (AT)
- Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)
- Software Assurance
- Operational Security (OPSEC)
Anti-Tamper (AT) is a cornerstone of Program Protection, enforcing controls on military technology exports and ensuring that Critical Program Information (CPI) remains protected throughout the entire acquisition lifecycle.
