security policy

Four active responsibilities, each with embedded security personnel as integrated collaborative team members.

As an emergent propertysecurity does not come in a separate box, e.g., personnel are security trained, equipment is self-secure.

Test system assembly is constrained by test configuration standards informed by security policy.

Security policy informs allother passive infrastructure standards, and evolves simultaneously with each.

Security is embedded in architecture at points 1-5. Additionally, encapsulated components have internal security distrustful of other components in general, ideally a fractal image of this architecture.

Comments on student work:• Yellow items lifted from story• Green items need identified (who/what are they)• No attempt was made to get iconic aircraft and UAV or

other items of graphic appropriateness for modules• No attempt was made to configure the systems with

typical mission configurations• Note that JMCP is early stage and experimenting with

learning, so the infrastructure will migrate (evolve) and this is perhaps a central point of the story

Comments on student work:• Yellow items lifted from story• Green items need identified (who/what are they)• No attempt was made to get iconic space ships and

sats, or other items of graphic appropriateness• No attempt was made to configure the systems with

positional meaning• No attempt was made to think about or depict a

I think std comm between sats (mentioned in your “evolving standards” section) is the Class 2 cluster system infrastructure rather than part of this Class 1 deployment system (see next page)
