Cyber Operation Planning and Operational Design_YayımlandıGovernment
This document discusses adapting cyber operations to operational design and planning processes. It proposes a "cyber operational design" model to help cyber and military planners comprehensively understand complex cyber incidents and plan preventative approaches. The document outlines operational planning and the military decision making process (MDMP), and provides samples of how cyber factor analysis and identification of a cyber center of gravity could fit into these processes. The goal is to help planners understand cyber operations complexity and leverage analytical planning tools to improve technical personnel's understanding of operational planning.
1. China leverages computer network attack and exploitation techniques, harvesting information critical to building a modern nation-state and "informationalized", technical military forces.
2. China adapted ancient stratagems for CNA & CNE operations.
3. China can claim plausible denial for nation-sponsored hacking activities, hiding within the sea of everyday hackers.
4. On the other hand, north Korea must take CNA & CNE operations outside its country's boundaries.
The Elements of Offensive Cyber Warfare OperationsMikko Jakonen
This document defines a concept of operations for cyber warfare in targeting, accessing and running operations within allocated information space. Maneuvering offensive operations in such an information space requires a framework to handle operational tasks such as target recognition, payload delivery and execution. The joint requirements such as planning and tasking with other interoperable dimensions make
things very difficult without such a framework approach. In the worst case each of the elements is being
handled in un-coordinated manner, rendering effects of potential capabilities low and simultaneously
possessing a threat for manipulating organizations.
Based on the understanding shown, offensive cyber warfare operates quite differently compared to its
kinetic counterparts. It creates its own operational theory and models not directly aligned with others.
However, the need for tactical interoperability is obvious but quite controversial. Offensive capabilities in
the larger context up to a specific mission area for other domains and disciplines. This breaks the uniform
model.
Please note that this is excerpt from larger study related to maneuvering and tactics in cyber warfare. It

Brief Summary
Cyber warfare and electronic warfare are similar in many ways. Electronic warfare is a general tool used to Deny, Disrupt, Destroy, Degrade, and Deceive which are largely achieved through the interactions with enemy’s radio frequency systems. Cyber warfare is similar and more with additional targeted effects on computer systems, networks, and applications. Information operations, however, intend to influence the person sitting behind the keyboard, resulting to wrong decision making.
Col Timothy Presby, Training and Doctrine Command Capabilities Manager of Cyber, Army said in August this year: “We need to be aware that we are very likely going to fight an adversary that is converging using [cyber and electromagnetic activity] integration, ISR and fires across full spectrum conflict, so unless we actually work together and converge our capabilities, we will be left short.”. This shows the importance of being aware and protected in the joint space.
This paper attempts to discuss the significance, seriousness and real threat in the cyber and electronics intelligence joint space. Critical military information can be obtained via cyber means and use by the forces to launch attacks in shortest possible time to cause severe damages to properties and lives.
