CREWS

i3 is comprised of leading industry experts in areas such as cybersecurity, IT, Risk Management Framework (RMF) life cycle support, high-performance computing, DevSecOps, Cyber-Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), Electronic Warfare (EW), data science, and analytics. From initial concept to modeling and simulation, our technical experts have extensive experience supporting operational and RDT&E commands covering strategic to tactical levels—from design and architecture to assembly, integration, and sustainment. Our experience and adaptability make our cyber and electronic warfare teams well-equipped to solve the most challenging problems.

IT NETWORK COMPLIANCE & RISK REDUCTION

i3 supports organizations in obtaining and maintaining Authority to Operate (ATO) and Authority to Connect (ATC) on classified and unclassified networks through RMF life cycle support. i3 conducts RMF assessments for the U.S. Army using in-house teams instead of costly external teams. i3 has delivered many RMF ATOs across multiple DoD branches and in various network environments, including enterprise, tactical, RDT&E, closed-restricted networks, standalone information systems, and Special Access Programs (SAPs). Other relevant areas include the following:

  • Security control compliance and assessment
  • Development and implementation of continuous monitoring strategies
  • Complete Continuity of Operation (COOP), incident response, and vulnerability management support
  • Generation and management of all policies, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and supporting artifacts
  • Full-scale Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service (eMASS) management
  • Third-party (SCA-V) assessment

ENTERPRISE, R&D, & TACTICAL IT

i3 provides enterprise subject matter expertise and support for various customer environments, including CIO, RDT&E environments, and HWIL labs. Our subject matter experts perform mission acquisition, business, and financial analysis duties via the Army Portfolio Management System (APMS), enterprise services, cybersecurity technical and procedural implementation, and information systems administration. i3 provides expertise in implementing the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) service management framework to deliver best practices to the organization.

i3 also provides expertise and knowledge in network security engineering, virtualization, organization-wide incident response management, cyberspace operations, DoD network operations, software engineering, defensive cyber operations, and lifecycle support and solutions. i3 engineers provide full-range IT and cybersecurity services, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Active Directory
  • ChatOps
  • DevSecOps
  • eMASS
  • Federated Services
  • Patch Management
  • Single Sign-On
  • System Logging
  • Host-Based Security Systems
  • Network Monitoring
  • Public Key Infrastructure
  • Secured File Transfer Protocol
  • Software Development
  • Storage Management
  • Virtual Data Centers
  • Windows Desktop and Server
  • Assured Compliance Assessment Solution
  • Database Cluster Integration & Management
  • Network Configuration Management
  • Network Engineering and Design
  • TACLANE Encryption Services for COMSEC
  • Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
  • Windows and Linux Server & Desktop Support

HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC)

The mission of the DoD High-Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) is to accelerate technology development and transition into superior defense capabilities through the strategic application of high-performance computing, AI/ML, networking, and computational expertise. i3’s support of the HPCMP is some of the most complex information systems support in the DoD, interfacing with multiple supercomputers provided by Cray, HPE, and IBM. i3 provides architecture and IT services in support of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Supercomputer Resource Center (SRC). The mission is to provide customers with a scalable, interactive Digital Engineering (DE) environment for HPC, DE, AI/ML, networking, and computational prototyping that is not directly tied to the HPCMP, but strictly to cost-reimbursable projects stood up and tracked by the ERDC SRC.

CYBER-ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITIES (CEMA)

i3 provides cybersecurity expertise for the Future Vertical Lift Project Office and assists in shaping and developing cybersecurity, EW, and program protection requirements for PEO Aviation and the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA). These cybersecurity efforts are designed to coincide with the system development and engineering lifecycle, currently in the design and modeling phase. Our efforts also focus on developing and applying supply chain risk management for technical components, parts, materials, cybersecurity engineering, software assurance, and program protection in support of the FLRAA.

As a major component of this effort, we are integrating the Army’s next-generation EW and cyber capabilities and technologies into the system engineering plans and designs. This effort involves a comprehensive analysis of the entire FLRAA internal network, individual aircraft (tactical) components, RMF controls, mission objectives, and performance measures to model the entire FLRAA system for cyber resiliency requirement generation, resiliency trades, and survivability measures.

DEVSECOPS

i3 provides DevSecOps methodology, design, integration, and support. Our DevSecOps engineers have extensive experience developing processes, tools, integration, and automation by building security and testing into projects early to provide customers with safe, secure, working solutions on shorter timelines. We provide full life cycle services and solutions within system design, development, testing, technology, integration, security, and documentation. Our efforts include automation, containerization, orchestration, creating repeatable continuous Authority to Operate (ATO) frameworks, and zero-trust architectures built for scalability.

Our DevSecOps processes enable lower risk and secure IT infrastructure operations, software development, monitoring, and management for on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Our understanding and experience of software development span a wide range of technologies, platforms, frameworks, development methodologies, tools, and processes to harness the best solutions that maximize customer benefits. This experience and understanding of Agile, Scrum, Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) pipelines, and DevSecOps allow our engineers to adapt and be flexible to customer needs, perform and cover the full scope of work, and transition work from one methodology to another if needed.

ELECTRONIC WARFARE

THREAT ANALYSIS

i3 provides a comprehensive threat analysis of foreign missile systems supporting multiple Foreign Materiel Exploitation (FME) efforts for the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). These efforts involve reverse engineering hardware, software, and firmware of threat missiles and associated systems/equipment to thoroughly understand the missile system’s functionality and identify potential vulnerabilities. The tasks are lengthy and involve circuit tracing, schematic generation, and analysis of circuits, software, and firmware. The results of the process and exploitation findings are documented for reporting to the EW and intelligence communities.

COUNTERMEASURE DEVELOPMENT

i3 personnel have extensive experience providing shipboard EW requirements definitions; Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) technique analysis and studies; ECM systems design and integration; intelligence data analysis; threat assessment and definitions; EW technique and system effectiveness evaluations; and development of EW operational concepts. Leveraging the multi-year, multi-program EW system life cycle, i3 works closely with the Government customer to develop novel solutions to complex EW problems.
