The cybersecurity CRA is a collaborative alliance between the
Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory,

of cyber science in the context of Army networks. Perspecta Labs
has been conducting research as a member of the CRA since 2014.
Under the new AREP task order, Perspecta Labs will continue to
support the CRA with applied research and experimentation and
assist with the accelerated transition of this research into the
field. Specifically, the company will leverage and extend its
CyberVAN testbed to provide sophisticated capabilities for cyber
experimentation in tactical, as well as strategic,
environments.
"At Perspecta Labs, we pride ourselves on successfully
transitioning the advanced research we conduct and innovative
solutions we invent to real-world applications," said Petros
Mouchtaris, Ph.D., president of Perspecta Labs. "We are excited to
lead the efforts of transferring cyber technology research into
operational capabilities to support Army missions and provide
warfighters with resilient, secure, intelligent networks in dynamic
and hostile battlefield environments."
Perspecta Labs' CyberVAN testbed is the primary mechanism for
conducting experimentation, validation, maturation and hardening of
novel CRA research in preparation for the successful and seamless
transition to Army networks. CyberVAN provides a realistic,
high-fidelity cyber environment that scales to handle large
networks, incorporates wired and wireless networking effects
accurately, and provides flexible, easy-to-use libraries and
interfaces for users.
