U.S. Air Force researchers are developing a new project based on the idea that in the future it will be possible to set up computer programs which will be used in military operations and long-term intelligence activities, such as "being to monitor a military barracks, accumulate financial information on a potentially hostile nation, or provide status on the political climate of a South American country”, an
Air Force paper announces.
In a short-term perspective, a similar cyber aid will be decisive to detect hidden people or dangerous items, such as explosive, without endangering human lives.
According to the project that stands behind this revolutionary technology, “Cyber crafts” will work on a variety of mediums with no distinctions, so that they could hop from computer networks, to electrical grids, to wireless nets and so on. Moreover, the programs would be able to keep up with the networks changes, performing constant self-morphing in order to be effective but impossible to detect by the adversaries.
The other revolutionary element conveyed by this technology is Cyber crafts’ ability to make decisions on whether to morph or self –destruct in case the enemy would discover them.
The Air Force paper then, makes an example of Cyber Craft application considering a squad of marines entering a residential area…
“They need updated information, and they find an electrical outlet and plugs-in. Such an outlet allows access to the town’s power grid and to the adversary’s computer network.
So, a cyber Crafty is injected into the system in order to localize insurgents or hidden military facilities The Cyber Craft detect[s] some activity at a military installation within 1000-ft of the Marines location.
The Cyber Craft performs a 'recce mission' to gather intelligence on the insurgents (exact location, number, arms, etc.) and sends back data/information to the marines.
However, in the meantime the marines have moved and have located a different means of connecting to the network. The Cyber Craft has 'sensed' this shift so readdresses the feedback information to the marine
