AMUET Cybersecurity- IATT Assessment USAF C-130 WR/AFSOC Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex Phase 1 - Tester approved Cybersecurity boundary Ø AMUET laptop is isolated from AF Server (AF GIT) Ø AMUET testers are isolated from Aircraft databus and LRUs AMUET is a dedicated application Ø AMUET dedicated network (wired/wireless) is secured and NEVER transmit any aircraft data AMUET data consist of serialized TBU/Interface cables readings (including LCR values) Ø AMUET readings are then converted to aircraft wire list data in dedicated laptop Ø Aircraft wire list data will be manually extracted from laptop (printed or CD) Phase 2 - Fleet data mining Cybersecurity boundary Ø Issue will be to gather fleet data into a centralized secured database We Deliver Airpower…Period! 8
AMUET USAF and NAVAIR Foreign Comparative Testing Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex NAVAIR USAF C 130 H/J C 5 1 st trial Nov 14, 2013 TPS done in 6 weeks USAF Cyber IATT was renewed July 2018 Solavitek funding Do. D FCT FY 2013 -2018 0. 150 0. 865 Total: $850 K evaluation process AMUET 123 #1 C 130 – 6 weeks project, BCA (9 months) #2 C 5 - 2 year, no ATS support required to proceed with cyber #3 C 130 - 12 months flightline trials, ends 8/20 OUTCOME: 1. Excellent BCA (footprint, TPS lead time, costs) 2. Better acceptance by tech (AWTS last resort) 3. Excellent performance (AFSOC success stories) 4. Agility to reconfigure on flightline NEW DATA FEB 2020: Fleet of 18 aircraft (5 AC 130 U and MC 130 H) Testing only 2 sub-systems (fuel and C 12) over 12 months 10 electrical anomalies found 7 major success stories solved We Deliver Airpower…Period! In April 2009 JSWAG, Navair suggested USAF take the lead with Solavitek and would follow AMUET 4 - Cancelled //PMA 260 INDUSTRY DAY This project performed 100% 12/2019 DELIVERABLES: 1. TBU 150 JIT test against MIL PRF 32516 2. TBU 300 SAP on F 18 Power Feeder and PDP 1 STATUS: COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY 1. TBU 300 JIT pass Lakehurst trials 8/2019 2. NAS Lemore trials 12/2019: * Test with TBU 300 SAP wired version * TPS debug same day (PF & PDP 1) * Warfighter learn to use in 30 minutes * Deviations found & confirmed on 2 a/c * Very collaborative PMA 260 interaction * Aircraft complex need careful attention Ø The 2 aircrafts selected for Industry Day did not have any history of failure. We would recommend AMUET be used in a 6 -12 months flightline trial with an operational fleet 9
