Overview

The HCSS CG coordinates the activities of the High Confidence Software and Systems Program Component Area (PCA).

HCSS R&D supports development of scientific foundations and technologies for innovative systems design, systems and embedded application software, and assurance and verification to enable the routine production of reliable, robust, safe, scalable, secure, stable, and certifiably dependable IT-centric physical and engineered systems comprising new classes of advanced services and applications. These systems, often embedded in larger physical and IT systems, are essential for the operation of the country’s critical societal infrastructures, acceleration of U.S. capability in industrial competitiveness, and optimization of citizens’ quality of life.
