PALEHORSE Theater Cyberspace Control

Effective Cyber Operations Enhance Mission Success

Modern communication depends on an increasing number of networked communication platforms. The advantage of this connectivity is quick access to comprehensive information at a relatively low cost. Protection for the information carried via these networks is vital, especially within military and national theaters of operation, where cyber attacks threaten national and global security.

 

To combat these threats, Raytheon AST offers PALEHORSE, a theater-wide cyber operations control solution. PALEHORSE leverages our expertise in extremely high-rate signal processing and comprehensive knowledge of communication protocols and equipment to enhance mission success. The result is a new level of full-spectrum cyber mission reliability.

 

PALEHORSE enables closer control of threats inside U.S. security zones. It pro¬vides U.S. military users unilateral network access in real time, allowing them to control information flowing in and out of U.S.-controlled zones and deploy cyber security policies rapidly within those zones. This improves effectiveness of existing offensive and defensive tools and capabilities, enabling large-scale, full-spectrum cyber operations to access selected real-time data streams with no interruption to normal network activities.

 

By providing access at levels throughout the network protocol stack, PALEHORSE supports a variety of operations while preserving compatibility with many existing Computer Network Operation applications.
