Up until now, cyber-crimes stayed online. The Pentagon has other “Creative Ideas” for cyber-crime in which will make Cyberwarfare cross over into real-world to perform harmful actions upon humans.
With a handful of companies (Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin) are in competition for a $460 Million dollar US Cyber Command Project, in which be able to provide the United States Military the power to be able to transform their enemy’s cyber infrastructure against them. This will be done by utilizing “Weaponized Code”, which can be found by reading the Defense One 114-Page Draft.

This will be a 5-year contract in which release the detailed plans on September 30 in order to get private companies to support the United States Military operations involved with Cyberwarfare.
The work order in which has been set will in fact support “Cyber Joint Munitions Effectiveness” which will be done by developing as well as deploying “Cyber Weapons” and effectively coordinating the two with a “Tool Developers” in the state of the spy community, which is stated in the document.
The US Cyber Command was originally created back in 2009. The reasoning for the resurrection of the Cyber Command was to prevent foreign hackers and halt them from executing their attacks on domestic targets. Now the US Cyber Command is starting the process of “Recruiting” 6,200 specialists for the selected “Cyberwarfare Teams” and filling up the positions. There are Cyberwarfare Teams all over the world in order to aid in the protection against violent hackers and terrorists. In accordance with Defense One, there are reports in which the U.S. believes that China has well over 100,000 “Cyber Warriors” aiding in China’s version of Cyber Command.
As our technology knowledge grows with technology itself, we are starting to see more “Cyber Fires” inside of enemy hardware. The new technology age will bring a new kind of Cyberwarfare in which is separate from our known traditional electronic attacks (Which merely just tracked targets, delete/cop/alter files, etc.). Now we are starting to see governments utilizing sections of code in a program in order to actually cause physical harm to other electronic devices.
Retired Major General Charles J. Dunlap stated “it is certain that civilians would be killed or injured so long as the reasonably anticipated collateral damage isn’t excessive in relation to what you expect to gain militarily. These are essentially the same rules as for attacks employing traditional bombs or bullets.”
With the ability to turn infrastructures into nothing more than a remote smoldering death trap, this is nothing more than the campaign in order to “Beef Up” the United States “Cyber Muscle”.
