The Department of Defense is interested in exploring the relationship between cyber and weapons of mass destruction. In a call for papers requested by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, the Air Force’s Institute for National Security Studies, in support of the Project on Advanced Systems and Concepts for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, wants an analysis defining the scope and exploration of the cyberwarfare-weapons of mass destruction nexus and implications this has for the counter-WMD mission. The call for research papers raises offensive cyber weapons to a level on par with other WMDs.- Fifth Domain Photo: Courtesy of Raytheon
