USAF Eyes 'Cyber-Craft' to Surf The Internet
The U.S. Air Force is developing cyber-craft -- software that can move through the Internet like planes fly through the air -- and will deploy them by 2010.More here.
Cyber-craft are “collections of intelligent software agents that work together as a unit, analogous to the airframe, payload and pilot associated with physical aircraft,” reported the magazine Defense Systems this week, citing U.S. Air Force technology official Paul Phister.
“As with real platforms, the cyber-craft can perform numerous types of operations” both offensive and defensive, he said.
Students attending the Air Force Research Laboratory’s Cyber Security Boot Camp last year built the first cyber-craft, the magazine reported -- launching it on its maiden “flight” in August 2006.
