Operating at the Convergence of Sea Power and Cyber Power: Bringing the Fleet Resources to the Joint Force Commander by William D Pfeifle (Paperback / softback, 2012)
There is little debate as to the importance of Cyber operations within the US Government. Securing it is ather issue beyond awareness. To quote the 2003 National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace,Securing cyberspace is an extraordinarily difficult challenge that requires a coordinated and focused effort.. The approach presented within this document represents such an approach - for the US Navy and from within the US Navy. The traditional approach for the Navy C4I systems engineering offices (such as SPAWAR) has been to deliver techlogies that will satisfy Navy and Joint warfighter requirements on an ad-hoc basis. While the products such organizations provided were developed more quickly than the typical big Navy ship programs, the products were often t able to keep pace with current techlogy available to users in the private sector, generating user frustration due to poor expectation management.
