CVA/H weapon system reaches FOC
The US Air Force Space Command's (AFSC) Cyberspace Vulnerability Assessment/Hunter (CVA/H) weapon system has reached Full Operational Capability (FOC) status. The system is now ready to serve as an enclave defence platform for prioritised traffic in the air force information network (AFIN).
The CVA/H weapon system will equip the air force's cyber protection teams, providing vulnerability assessments, adversary threat detection and compliance evaluations of information system assets such as computers, infrastructure, applications, data, and cyberspace operations. The system provides the ability to find, fix, track, target, engage and assess advanced persistent threats to air force missions on prioritised network enclaves within the AFIN.
CVA/H operators focus on providing vulnerability assessment and the Hunter mission. The Hunter mission provides the 24th Air Force commander and supported combatant commanders with a deployable, precision capability to identify, pursue within network boundaries, and mitigate cyberspace threats impacting critical links and nodes in support of theatre or functional operations.
Stephen Whiting, AFSPC director of integrated air, space, cyberspace and ISR operations, said: 'This achievement underscores our commitment to the US Cyber Command Cyber Protection Team mission and to the defence of prioritised cyberspace terrain in the air force portion of the Department of Defense information network. CVA/H defends the air force's ability to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace.'
