The notice was first reported by Inside Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department is bound by  <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/senate-bill\/1356\/text?overview=closed\">law<\/a> to evaluate the cyber vulnerabilities of major weapons systems and report to Congress\u00a0by the end of 2019, with $200 million authorized for the project. The mandate was the marquee provision in military cybersecurity legislation the president signed last year as part of the 2016 defense policy bill. <br\/> <br\/> <div>  Weapons systems developed over the past 20 years are &#8220;highly effective on the battlefield\u00a0and yet also highly vulnerable to network attack,&#8221; as they are increasingly dependent on &#8220;network\u00a0targeting information, digital satellite communication to\u00a0GPS networks, and digital command operating pictures\/blue force trackers,&#8221;\u00a0Jacquelyn Schneider, a scholar at George Washington University warns in a   <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cnas.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications-pdf\/CNASReport-DigitalWarfare-Final.pdf\" title=\"Link: http:\/\/www.cnas.org\/sites\/default\/files\/publications-pdf\/CNASReport-DigitalWarfare-Final.pdf\">report<\/a> published this week by the Center for New American Security. <\/div> <div> <br\/> <\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The highly networked nature of two key military systems, the\u00a0the F-35 Lightning II and Distributed Common Ground System-Army, the service&#8217;s\u00a0intelligence dissemination system, illustrate how digitally dependent the US military has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, the Pentagon&#8217;s Director of Operations, Test and Evaluation (DOT&#038;E), Michael Gilmore announced last year he found\u00a0that nearly all of DoD&#8217;s major weapons\u00a0systems were vulnerable to cyber attacks. Forty systems in 2014 needed to fix cyber vulnerabilities, including the Army&#8217;s Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, the Navy&#8217;s Joint High Speed Vessel and the Freedom class of Littoral Combat Ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2013 Defense Science Board  <a class=\"\" href=\" http:\/\/www.acq.osd.mil\/dsb\/reports\/ResilientMilitarySystems.CyberThreat.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link:  http:\/\/www.acq.osd.mil\/dsb\/reports\/ResilientMilitarySystems.CyberThreat.pdf\">study<\/a> warned that while DoD takes care to secure the use and operation of its weapons systems, it neglects the information technology systems used to operate and support them, or the cyber capabilities embedded within them. As a result, a foe could cut communication links and inactivate, redirect or destroy US weapon systems.\u00a0 <br\/> <br\/>&#8220;In today&#8217;s world of hyper-connectivity and automation, any device with electronic processing, storage, or software is a potential attack point and every system is a potential victim\u2013including our own weapons systems,&#8221; the report reads. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report stressed the difficulty of predicting the cyber security of any system, noting, &#8220;A few critical bits manipulated in a weapon fire control system can render that weapon ineffectual.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department has been focusing on fixing cyber vulnerabilities beyond its weapons systems. In June, white-hat hackers found 138 vulnerabilities in a DoD sponsored bug bounty event. That came a year after intruders \u2014 suspected to be Russian \u2014 hacked into an unclassified email system used by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, forcing the military to take it off line temporarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:jgould@defensenews.com\" title=\"Link: mailto:jgould@defensenews.com\">jgould@defensenews.com<\/a>\u00a0
