The future of warfare will likely not be won by those with merely the greatest military might. Rather, the world powers of the 21st Century will be those states that have the most robust cyber defensive capabilities coupled with an experimenting culture that allows them to develop the most effective offensive cyber weapons. Arguably the greatest challenge any state faces when coming up with an arsenal of powerful cyberattack capabilities is properly defining what its offensive cyber operations (OCO) will encompass. This research tackles the complexities of this problem by examining the attributes most necessary for effective OCO. Through the review of literature on cyber operations and on real-world cyberattacks that have already taken place, this paper defines five factors which OCO must consider in order to be truly effective: degree of damage inflicted, target specificity, undetectability, surprise, and degree that the attack can be prevented. This research employs systems engineering tools and techniques to prioritize how the US can focus on OCO for the 21st Century and beyond so that it is prepared to fight and win in its future wars.
