USAF RFI: Malign Influence Actors and Malicious Cyber Threat & Analysis Services (CTAS)

16 AF/JFHQ-C AF A39, assigned cyber forces, and other staff elements require open-source investigative products to identify malign influence/malicious cyber actors and attribute their actions back to the country and organization who sponsors them. Foreign Malign Influence (FMI) operations/cyber actors remain a critical threat to the United States (US) democratic pillars and institutions including influencing how we vote, choose our leaders, and use news and information online to make decisions, and pose a fundamental threat to US national security. Malign influence/cyber actors operate openly on the internet, using social media, news sites, and other publicly available capabilities to push propaganda and mis/disinformation. To combat these actors, JFHQ-C AF entities need the ability to identify and investigate the organizations that are behind these influence campaigns.  This requires investigative research skills, significant experience in using a variety of social media platforms to collect data from, and native language skills to acquire, translate, and provide context to information gathered.
