Purpose

The Cyber Fusion Innovation Center (CFIC), in collaboration with Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) and the Army Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), invites qualified industry partners to submit proposals for the development of a high‑fidelity Internet Service Provider (ISP) Cyber Range. This Assessment Event release describes the problem set, desired capabilities, and evaluation approach for solutions that can support Joint Force Headquarters‑Cyber (JFHQ‑C) (A)’s mission to provide full-spectrum cyberspace operations (CO) in support of Combatant Command missions.

​

Background/Synopsis

In FY26, ARCYBER identified the need to seek proposals from qualified vendors for the development and delivery of an advanced, scalable ISP network range to support JFHQ‑C (A)’s mission to provide full-spectrum cyberspace operations (CO) in support of Combatant Command missions. Adversaries increasingly target core internet and telecommunications infrastructure to establish covert footholds, compromise downstream customers, and posture for widespread communication disruptions. To better understand and mitigate these risks, JFHQ‑C (A) requires an environment to safely mock, map, and emulate adversary tactics within realistic ISP‑style network infrastructures  The solution sought must allow operators to conduct highly interactive, complex missions spanning from top‑level Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) down to Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). To accelerate mission planning and execution, the platform must provide deep situational awareness through comprehensive traffic monitoring, granular device‑level debugging, and the ability to rapidly reset the infrastructure to a baseline state for subsequent testing iterations.
