U.S. military mysterious “X Plan next month start
【 important part of Global Times special correspondent chapter name Qi With the depth of network warfare and network attack and defense capabilities to enhance the U.S. military recently proposed that the conventional concept of network warfare, network warfare operations as conventional military action, as the sea , land and air combat forces. “Connection” magazine website reported that on the 21st, the “X Plan” will be developed to achieve this goal, the secret to start next month, the plan is ready to build a complete network operational system, to seek to dominate cyberspace. For network warfare the routinized
“X Plan
Connection” website reported that, according to the United States, is responsible for the research department of the U.S. military’s top technology – - The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to build the mysterious “X Plan” expected to start in September secret, when the defense contractor, a well-known hacker, computer game companies are likely to recruit by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, into R & D in the past. it thinks the U.S. military efforts in network warfare before does not constitute the whole of the network war. Ordinary people think, is to destroy the opponent’s server network warfare to disrupt an electronic system or industrial plant caught fire and exploded. The agency believes that the future network warfare should be an important part of routine operations, by means of cyber attacks, for example, to paralyze the opponent’s air command and control system, or to force the opponent’s battlefield communications systems to disability, the opponent is difficult to launch air strikes. It can be said that the network warfare action is part of the joint operations. The council declared in project planning, Once X project to fruition, the U.S. military will be able to like led the traditional battlefield dominate cyberspace. formulate operational plans to achieve automatically counterattack
For example, the U.S. military needs in a very short period of time to mobilize a network offensive weapons and launch cyber attacks, which require instantaneous battlefield situational awareness of cyberspace must have the ability to understand cyberspace, which is the target, how assessment attack effects. According to the idea of ??the “X Plan, the U.S. military will be to develop a state-of-the-art network map as a conventional map, clearly draw the look of cyberspace, for use by U.S. military commanders. This means that over billions of computer terminals and connect to the Internet are likely to be drawn into the network map. This map is not only able to always kept up to date, you must also provide information such as target attack failure.
reported that, responsible for the national security of the United States Secretary of network warfare operations and Chief Network Warfare Command, Admiral Alexander had publicly stated that the United States is also the inability of the national level of cyber attacks to fight back, because the U.S. military lack of clear battle plans and rules of engagement. This issue will also be resolved in the “X”. The plan will be fully conceived various victims of cyber attacks in the United States may, in advance of making a good counter-attack plan. Once suffered a similar attack, the network will automatically start retaliatory action.
According to the Washington Post revealed that in 2003 the U.S. military to prepare before the hands of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq, the U.S. military had considered the use of network attacks paralyzed the Saddam government finances and financial system, but taking into account such attack the collateral casualties can not be expected to eventually give up. In view of this, the “X-Plan” to prepare a comprehensive assessment of network offensive weapons that might be attached to destruction, to provide a reference for command level decision-making. In addition, the program will also create a comprehensive set of operating system specifically for network warfare. The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency officials pointed out that the popular operating system on the market as a sports car, peacetime run fast on the highway, but one can not be used to the wartime on very fragile. U.S. troops prepare to R & D in this operating system is like armored vehicles, not only able to withstand cyber attacks from opponents, but also be able to counter-attack immediately.
U.S. network warfare research program has been criticized
U.S. military believes that more and more widely to achieve interoperability as well as the uses of the Internet in the military as the global network space over has become important over the next to win the war. The U.S. military in network warfare research investment is also growing. It is reported that the X-Plan is only a small part of the U.S. military network warfare research investment. The funds will reach $ 1.54 billion over the next five years, the U.S. military research and development for network warfare.
for U.S. network warfare research and development, there are also a lot of controversy in the United States. Some critics have pointed out, people’s lives has been highly dependent on the network, network warfare weapons have become conventional weapons, although without firing a shot, but the loss is immeasurable. Precisely because without firing a shot, perhaps more to stimulate the U.S. military network attacks impulse ultimate consequences, likely will be the United States and throughout the world unbearable. ▲
