- Description
- Request for White Papers Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) Cyber Innovation Challenge #3 1.0 Purpose: This Request for White Papers (RWP) is issued to seek vendors capable of fulfilling the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE) topics outlined below: • Technical Management Dashboard • White Cell (Exercise Control) • Assessment (Systems and Training Performance) The Government will evaluate the solutions with the intent of negotiating an Other Transaction Agreement under the Training and Readiness Accelerator (TReX). The Government will evaluate solutions in each topic area and are not required to submit a comprehensive solution for all three areas. 2.0 Summary and Background The PCTE is intended to solve Department of Defense (DoD) gaps that include the capability to effectively plan, build and conduct Cyber Mission Force (CMF) training. Currently, CMF training scenarios are manually deployed on a variety of cyber range resources with varying capabilities that lack fidelity, interoperability, reusability and cannot scale to support projected CMF demands. To close this training shortfall, DoD requires a persistent cyberspace training environment that can rapidly deploy and redeploy high fidelity training scenarios, on demand, into specific environments to meet the needs of the CMF. PCTE will enable the CMF to conduct training, exercises and mission rehearsals for the full spectrum of Cyberspace Operations. PCTE deploys prototype capabilities through competitive Cyber Innovation Challenges (CICs) to the field consisting of capabilities including event management, environment creation/replication, and connections into to the Services' Crew Training Facilities. With continued evaluation of the CIC prototypes by Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) personnel, the PCTE platform will continue to evolve based on changes to technology, threat, and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). Building on CIC-1 and CIC-2 awarded capabilities, CIC-3 is being issued to investigate prototype solutions specifically in the area(s) of Technical Management Dashboard, White Cell (Exercise Control) and Assessment (System and Training Performance). The intent of the challenge is to evaluate the technical feasibility of integrating these capabilities into a PCTE baseline training solution that is presently incorporating contributions from selected CIC-1 and CIC-2 vendors with Government integration activities. The full RWP can be viewed on the TReX website, located at the following link: https://trainingaccelerator.org/2018/07/pcte-cic-3/
