Defining Cyberspace as a United States Air Force Mission

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to provide a common framework and language for the definition of cyberspace. Specifically, this project looked into three key areas: (1) What is cyberspace? (2) Why is cyberspace so unique and important? and (3) What are the U.S. Air Force's cyberspace capabilities and mission areas? An extensive literature review indicates that the fundamental problem of defining cyberspace evolved as cyberspace evolved within each community in the Air Force. The culmination of this effect was an encompassing definition as well as a set of models to graphically depict cyberspace and its interactions with other information domains.
