June 2, 200817 yr The May 2008 ieee Spectrum magazine had an engaging article describing some attempts to prevent sabotage of military electronic components as more and more of those components originate outside of government production facilities and outside of US facilities. I've finally gotten around to tracking down the online version. You can find it at: http://spectrum.ieee.org/may08/6171 The topic really crosses a number of my interests, electronic design, weapons systems, Harpoon... So far I can't imagine how one goes about modelling cyber attacks in our games, let alone faulty chips. Is there a 1 in 1000 chance that all of your F-22 are going to become unuseable in a scenario, is that how to model such a possible vector of attack. Physical sabotage at a level the human eye can see is one thing (and very difficult to accomplish across an entire airfield, let alone an entire airforce), but attacks that can only be probabalistically detected before they unleash a deadly payload, wow...
