Plan X

Plan X is a five-year DARPA research project on cyberwarfare. The aim is to develop technologies to launch attacks on enemy systems, not only protect their own systems as has been the case in former United States military operations. The project will start in the summer of 2012 and has a budget of $110 million.

One of the project's goals is to create a detailed map of the entirety of cyberspace which will be continuously updated. Another goal is to create a new and more robust operating system which will also be able to launch attacks.
