Purpose 
The Cyber Fusion Innovation Center (CFIC), in collaboration with U.S. Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) and Army Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), invites qualified industry partners to submit proposals for the development of GHOSTCREW, an AI-driven platform designed to accelerate experience accumulation for Red Team/Pentest operators. This RFP outlines the requirements for a prototype system capable of accelerating operator experience accumulation by providing numerous recommended courses of action and simulating operator decisions prior to execution in the live environment thus exposing the operator to more learning during a single operation than would occur without the AI assistance and in-stride simulated outcomes.

​

Background/Synopsis 

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits innovative solutions via a whitepaper submission in Vulcan for the development of GHOSTCREW, an AI-driven, operational Red Team platform designed to significantly accelerate the experience accumulation of Red Team/Pentest operators. By providing real-time, AI-assisted decision support, simulated tool use outcomes and a centralized repository of lessons learned, GHOSTCREW aims to bridge the gap between foundational training and practical experience, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of Red Team operations using an AI assisted platform during real-world red team operations.  

  

A significant challenge facing our organization is conferring experience to our Red Team/Pentest personnel. While foundational training is readily available, practical experience is primarily gained through live operational missions, which are costly and time-consuming. GHOSTCREW aims to address this challenge by providing an AI assisted platform where operators can conduct operational missions while receiving in-stride assistance, experiment with different attack vectors and learn from previous operations during live operations. The GHOSTCREW platform will accelerate experience accumulation using AI assisted decision making and simulated course of action outcome feedback built directly into the tool chain and user interface of the Red Team Operator.
