Overview
This Plan identified major research and technology development efforts within federal agencies and articulates a vision that took into account future needs and identifies research gaps based on known threats. The Plan had three strategic goals: a national common operating picture for critical infrastructure; a next-generation computing and communications network with security "designed-in" and inherent in all elements; and a resilient, self-diagnosing, and self-healing physical and cyber infrastructure systems.
