High Assurance Computer Systems Security

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) intends to award a bridge action by modifying current Task Order N0017321F2015, High Assurance Computer Systems Security, with Arcfield on a sole-source basis. The purpose of this modification is to provide continuity of specialized services in the creation of prototypes for cybersecurity and vulnerability analysis, development of high-assurance cryptographic systems, building of sensor and communication platforms, and analysis of new security protocols to support Navy, DoW (Department of War), and Intelligence Community priorities. The key aspects of this opportunity include: • Providing comprehensive scientific, engineering, technical, and project management support to the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) Center for High Assurance Computer Systems (CHACS), Code 5540 • Creating prototypes for cybersecurity and vulnerability analysis • Developing high-assurance cryptographic systems • Building sensor and communication platforms • Analyzing new security protocols to support Navy, DoW (Department of War), and Intelligence Community priorities
