Precise Cyber Effects
Abstract
When compared to traditional methods of kinetic warfare, cyber conflicts are still relatively new and untested. Cyber operators often have incomplete information about their targets prior to completing an action. This deficit makes it difficult to predict the precise outcomes or collateral damage caused by a cyber operation. With this uncertainty, military leaders may act with an undue sense of caution in using cyber capabilities. Improving technology and techniques for quantifying cyber effects will increase the effectiveness of cost estimation, enhance consequence prediction and ensure precision. Highly precise and predictable cyber effects can also achieve mission goals despite the presence of both incomplete and maliciously-created false information.
