Title:

FACT - Federated Advanced Cyber-Physical Test Range

Program:

European Defense Fund

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

The Federated Advanced Cyber physical Test range (FACT) project will provide an unprecedented new European capability to test and verify the cyber vulnerability of equipment.

The FACT capability will be based on two pioneering and unique assets: • The ability to integrate and federate the advanced capabilities and expertise of the project partners in a revolutionary way to achieve, within 3 years, a level commensurate with a versatile, diverse and constantly evolving cyber threat. • The design and development of a hybrid reference architecture for the federation of cyber-physical test beds, tested and qualified according to three scenarios that together cover most operational situations.

Ultimately, these ground-breaking cyber resilience assessment tools will pave the way for the EU’s autonomy and ability to create and integrate a federated cyberphysical test bed at an affordable cost.
