CyberTropolis

CyberTropolis is Muscatatuck Urban Training Complex’s persistent training environment for advanced cyber-physical training and exercise support. The cyber live-fire developmental testing and training range for critical infrastructure systems is capable of supporting live offensive and defensive operations in a real city outfitted with operational ICS/SCADA,* cellular and enterprise networks.
 
Each of the city’s utility departments is outfitted with operational and exploitable ICS/SCADA devices controlled by programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Each department’s virtual network is a secured enclave of the city’s enterprise network and is designed to facilitate cyber intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and exploitation activities.
 
The Onyx System** provides a closed-loop cellular network containing a unified software core network that enables fully integrated support for 3G (UMTS and EVDO***) and 4G LTE technologies, and provides users with real-life training scenarios for current and future mission readiness requirements.
 
*ICS/SCADA: Industrial Control Systems/Internet Connection Sharing/Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
**Fully mission-capable Summer, 2019
***Universal Mobile Telephone System, Evolution-Data Optimized
The cellular environment provides:
 
  • Robust, realistic, closed-loop 3G (UMTS and EVDO) and 4G LTE networks and is expandable to 2G and 5G
  • Replication of multiple towers/providers, providing unique capabilities in various electromagnetic and communications exploitation events
  • Mobile communication over commercial infrastructure for civil and military operations
  • An integrated Metro Wi-Fi with traffic generation to include user profiles, simultaneous attached data sessions (GSN), simultaneous voice calls (MSC) and mobile-to-mobile text messaging (SMSC)
  • CyberTropolis is connected to the Department of Defense (DOD) Enterprise Cyber Range Environment (DECRE) and other locations through its secure compartmented information facility (SCIF) using various secure networks, including the Joint Information Operations Range (JIOR) and the Joint Training and Evaluation Network (JTEN).

This chart shows the concept of what a Joint Urban Test Capability is required to have, the design, and how it is applied at Muscatatuck.

Crane NSWC manages the Atterbury-Muscatatuck Electromagnetic Environment (EME), and Electronic Attack (EA) Clearance for ground-based systems. If a customer requires this capability, we will facilitate the linkage to Crane.

Email a Cyber/EME specialist for more information on these capabilities.
