US Army to launch offensive cyber capabilities office

 ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — The U.S. Army will establish an office dedicated to offensive cyber and space capabilities next year amid rapidly shifting priorities, officials said.

The office, dubbed Program Manager Cyber and Space, will fall under the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, which tests and fields equipment such as aerial jamming pods, biometric information systems and battlefield navigation tools.


Its creation will shift offensive cyber responsibilities away from an existing PEO IEW&S enclave tasked with electronic warfare and cyber.

Is that offensive as in taking control, charging the enemy, not on the defensive?

Or is it offensive as in stinks to high heaven, lousy, and embarrassing?

Only time will tell. :shrug:

That will 'never' be used against the people?
