For example, careful readers can decipher that Cyber Command will continue its offensive cyber effort against the Islamic State, as well as develop an offensive tool that appears as several different attacks, but is actually the same tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the case of Cyber Command, the Air Force purchases certain programs for the organization as the executive agent for the command. And because the Air Force\u2019s budget documents are publicly available, certain programs become evident. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/smr\/federal-budget\/2018\/02\/16\/the-air-force-requested-30-million-to-develop-a-cyber-carrier\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635957161559738886-arm-hunter-2jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The Air Force requested $30M to develop a \u2018cyber carrier\u2019<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Department of Defense\u2019s budget request for fiscal 2019 describes a plan to develop such a war-fighting platform for Cyber Command.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the Air Force\u2019s recently released research and development budget documents, are two program elements dedicated to procurement for Cyber Command: one titled Cyber Operations Technology Development \u2013 totaling $253.8 million for the entire program element \u2013 and Enabled Cyber Activities \u2013 totaling $16.3 million for the entire program element.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/cyber\/2018\/02\/13\/heres-how-cyber-command-is-preparing-for-its-next-job\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_903781813052.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Here\u2019s how Cyber Command is preparing for its next job<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Department of Defense is taking steps to prepare to elevate Cyber Command to a full, unified combatant command.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, nested within the first program are four projects that cover cyber capabilities, platforms and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUSCYBERCOM in conjunction with the Services and Defense Agencies will develop and expand infrastructure architectures and cyber tools and capabilities to support Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) to \u2018fight tonight\u2019 with lethality, resiliency, and innovative deterrence against key threats in the strategic environment,\u201d the budget documents read. \u201cFocus is on four broad program areas: Joint Common Services, Joint Access Platforms, Joint Tools, and Joint Analytics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s an explanation of Cyber Command\u2019s wishlist for fiscal 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Joint Common Services<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Request: $52.4 million for FY19<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This part of the program seeks to support capabilities that will be used by the cyber misston force to conduct cyber operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plans include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211;
