The Defense Information Systems Agency has established a 164,000-square-foot facility at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois designed to help DISA monitor the country’s cyber infrastructure and coordinate emergency response efforts.

DISA’s Global Operations Command will unveil on Aug. 11 the $100 million building that includes a 20,000-square-foot cyber operations center and will house over 950 military, contractor and civilian employees, the Air Force said Thursday.

The report said the Air Force and Marine Corps have started to transfer their cyber protection teams to the complex.

Col. Paul Craft, chief of DISA’s Global Operations Command, said the command will use the facility to carry out cyber and defense integration efforts and has begun to integrate Army and Air Force Reserve units into the new building.

Dana Rowe, DISA Global deputy commander, noted that Craft has proposed to set up a communications university construct as well as bring the Communications Electronic Command to the complex.

DISA has also teamed up with Saint Louis University and Washington University’s Technology Learning Center to facilitate collaboration on cybersecurity through the new facility, Rowe added.

The FBI has launched a digital billboard campaign to raise public awareness of the bureau’s internet crime complaint center and its role as a platform to report online fraud and other cyber crimes to the agency.

The bureau’s IC3 works to notify consumers about cyber crimes through public service announcements and provides law enforcement officials access to the FBI’s complaint database through the Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal, the FBI said Friday.

The FBI noted it deployed digital billboards at several FBI field offices in cities such as San Diego, New York City New Orleans to inform the public about IC3.

Such field offices have cyber task forces that take part in IC3’s Operation Wellspring program that aims to help state and local law enforcement authorities build up their cyber investigative functions, according to the FBI.

IC3 staff develop intelligence packages that seek to pinpoint criminal groups and identify trends in criminal activities through the Operation Wellspring initiative.

The White House has released a policy that aims to facilitate exchange and reuse of custom-built source code across federal agencies.

Federal Chief Information Officer Tony Scott wrote in a blog post published Monday the Federal Source Code Policy was introduced in order to reduce the acquisition of duplicative software code and promote collaboration among government agencies.

The policy also intends to launch a pilot program that would require agencies to release over 20 percent of custom-developed source code as open source software for a three-year period and gather additional information on custom software for use in the evaluation of the pilot’s performance.

Scott, an inductee into Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 for 2016, also cited open source code-based platforms launched by federal agencies such as the White House’s petition platform We the People and General Service Administration’s Data.gov.

The White House will unveil the Code.gov website in the next few months in an effort to leverage the federal government’s open source software, he added.

NASA has tested a high-speed, high dynamic range camera that attempted to record propulsion video data during a Space Launch System full-scale booster test.

The space agency said Friday the High Dynamic Range Stereo X project’s goal was to design a camera that could record and combine multiple slow motion video exposure into a high dynamic range video that exposes all areas of the image to address rocket motor test filming issues.

“I was able to clearly see the exhaust plume, nozzle and the nozzle fabric go through its gimbaling patterns, which is an expected condition, but usually unobservable in slow motion or normal playback rates,” said Howard Conyers, NASA Stennis Space Center structural dynamist.

NASA added HiDyRS-X will continue through tests at Stennis and a second prototype will be built through the use of data collected from previous experimentation to get added dynamic range capacity as well as alignment and multiple exposure settings.

The space agency’s Early Career Initiative introduced the HiDyRS-X project in support of efforts to give young engineers the opportunity to lead projects and develop hardware.

Innovative Imaging and Research helped the space agency complete an initial proof of concept and preliminary design review as well as tested the system on small rocket nozzle plumes, NASA noted.
