Business Wire, Oct 13, 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/805e55/the_state_of_the_a) has announced the addition of the "The State of the Air Force Cyber Command" report to their offering.

This report examines the issues surrounding the Air Force Cyber Command initiative and the possible scenarios for the Air Force cyber mission moving forward.

Description:

The Air Force Cyber Command (Provisional) (AFCYBER) was established to serve as a leader in the world of cyber warfare. The wheels were well in motion - a new mission statement, a strategic plan and vision, a proposed reorganization strategy, and state representatives actively jockeying for selection as Cyber Command headquarters.

But in mid-August, newly appointed Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz and Acting Secretary Michael Donley called for a halt in manning and budget transfers for Cyber Command as they evaluate key problems facing the Air Force and develop new strategies for moving forward. Despite the pause in planning, the command could be granted a new life in the future as the need for the Department of Defense to establish cyber dominance increases.

This Industry Insight report covers:

-Air Force Cyber Command overview

-Issues and challenges driving the pause in planning

-Potential alternatives for the future of Air Force Cyber Command

-Potential opportunities and recommendations for supporting the Air Force cyber mission
