-Report-

With recent conflicts demonstrating the increasing importance if cyberwarfare in armed conflicts, it has been decided the AIF must take action to remain relevant in future wars. R&D of various technologies related to cyberwarfare will be divided in to two groups, offensive, and defensive systems.

Of top priority for research are defensive measures. Research will be done to develop far tighter security measures for all military systems. Top priority within that is prevention of unauthorized access to system controls such as weapons, propulsion, navigation, life support, and other key systems deemed a liability. Along with these systems, improved encryption of communications and data storage is also to be researched.

Offensive systems are also to be researched. Emphasis will be placed on means of breaching an enemy's security, and accessing their systems for various uses. This will have a low priority, and is secondary to defensive projects.

Improvements will happen gradually. It is estimated that it will take a month to get systems to an acceptable level of defensive readiness, after which research will progress at a slower pace to allow more research on offensive systems.

OOC: Cyberdefense is probably going to be a key aspect of any future wars, so I want to be prepared.
