(FCW.COM) As part of its evolving cyberwarfare strategy,
the Air Force is looking for input on how to construct a command and
control system that would support defensive and offensive operations in
the event of an all-out attack on the country’s information
infrastructure.
According to a draft document, the Cyber Control System would monitor network activity across the Air Force's segment of the military's Global Information Grid.
If the system detected an
attack, it would alert Air Force cybersecurity personnel and
automatically take measures to mitigate and repair any damage to its
networks.
The Cyber Control System would also give Air Force officials recommended responses or courses of action. Those responses might be limited to cyber operations or they might require coordination with traditional operations. Air Force officials believe that capability is vital.
