The "Future Land Warfare Report 2014" from the Australian Army's Directorate of Future Land Warfare Headquarters said "Military cyber operations can be as effective as precision-guided munitions against either a nation-state or a non-state actor": http://www.army.gov.au/~/media/Files/Our%20future/Publications/FLWR_Web_B5_Final.pdf My suggestion was an "Australian CyberWarfare Battalion", made up of reserve personnel working in the IT industry: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2013/08/australian-cyberwarfare-battalion.html Also Australia could order four additional P-8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft, fitted with CEA Technologies' Australian phased array radar technology, for electronic warfare and surveillance: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2014/03/maritime-patrol-aircraft-with.html Australia has already ordered EA-18G "Growler" Electronic Warfare variants of the F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2012/09/australia-purchaing-electronic-warfare.html Also Australia should limit it purchase of submarines to six conventionally powered ones, smaller than the current Collins class. Instead investment could be made in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to be launched from the submarines. The AUVs can use technology from the one person submarine made in Sydney for James Cameron: http://blog.tomw.net.au/2014/08/james-camerons-submarine-made-in-sydney.html -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
