Note:
PENDING 1.1.1 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) codes are used to control the operation of machines, such as motors, valves, and sensors, based on inputs from various sensors and other devices. The US Navy widely uses them for a variety of automation and control applications. The project will analyze the PLC codes for vulnerabilities. We propose to develop a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) system that will be used to check PLC codes to see if they have any code vulnerabilities and meet Navy standard compliance.
