Electronic Warfare and Cyber – Uncomfortable Cousins?
January 18, 2013 Added by:Joel Harding
I know the Chinese recently held a military exercise under constrained conditions, they even advertised it ex post facto. Why don’t we? I would see that as the perfect opportunity to increase the cross-pollination, knowledge and appreciation between Electronic Warfare and cyber...

A 6 minute Al Qaeda video translated by the FBI calls for extremist followers to perform cyber attacks against the US. The video states that US computer systems are as vulnerable to electronic warfare as airline security was leading up to the 9/11 attacks...

Off Topic: What to do about Conspiracy Theorists?
May 21, 2012 Added by:Joel Harding
I received an alert recently about an article dealing with Electronic Warfare or EW. Since EW has always been one of the components of Information Operations I decided to take a look. Mistake. My very first indicator, before I even had to think, was that the title was in ALL CAPS...

Who or What Downed the RQ-170?
December 17, 2011 Added by:Joel Harding
Cyber attack? Oh come on now. This would be a highly complex operation and I doubt even the Russians have that capability. First you would need to inject the proper commands into the system. Then, you’d have to establish a link through the CandC network from Beale or Creech Air Force Base...

US Chose Not to Use Cyberwarfare Against Libya
November 03, 2011 Added by:Dan Dieterle
