Current Issue
U.S. Air Force Networking:
The Air Force largely has been invisible as attention has focused on ground combat in Southwest Asia. Yet, air support played a key role in neutralizing many adversarial force elements, and with the end of a U.S. combat role in that region, military planners are looking ahead to future conflicts. Combat aircraft increasingly are becoming sensor platforms complementing their fighting roles, and taking advantage of the data they collect is a key task for mission planners.
CYBER TRENDS:
While cyber has been a growing area of interest for some time, in 2013 it moved to the top of the list. The U.S. director of national intelligence declared that cyber threats are more of a menace to the Free World than terrorism, and South Korea’s media and financial institutions came under attack from foreign hackers. The only aspect that has grown more than cyber awareness is the threat itself, as all government, military, civil and commercial institutions find themselves in the digital line of fire. No moving target ever proved so elusive as the cyber threat, and countering it may be the key to continued freedom and prosperity.
