Summary	Maintenance of a Lab for the purpose of stress testing real DoD systems with an emphasis on a holistic approach. The systems will be made available through a separate Internet Service Provider (ISP) than NPS to enable the testing of different access configurations and to allow for outside entities to red term the systems. This lab will be used to evaluate multiple different DoD systems over the years. Four full time NPS students will work in the lab over the next four years. Naval Postgraduates School will install systems selected by JIOC in the SETL. NPS will install test hardware/software and operational experimentation. NPS will maintain systems. NPS will evaluate systems capabilities and usability in different deployment paradigms. NPS will also evaluate security and safety vulnerabilities. NPS will provide a lab space, lab manager and network connectivity using DREN and assist JIOWC in identifying vulnerabilities and recommend mitigation strategies for systems. The funding for the proposal will come in increments. The first year will be funded at the $60K level, with operational additional years to follow.
