Book excerpt: "This thesis is an initial attempt to clarify and further conceptualize cyberspace as an Air Force warfighting domain. This thesis follows two previous Ten Propositions works regarding airpower and spacepower, respectively written by Col Phillip S. Meilinger (1995) and Maj Michael V. Smith (2001). As the United States military explores its future regarding cyberspace operations, the time has come to frame similar propositions regarding cyberpower. Specifically, this thesis seeks to answer the question: What is the nature of cyberpower? It also tests the notion that cyberpower is simply a continuation or extension of airpower. Two points come immediately to the forefront of this work. First, cyberpower is different from airpower in that it encompasses much more than the vertical dimension of warfare. Second, cyberspace operations are quickly maturing to a point wherein propositions regarding cyberpower are worth discussing. The ten propositions presented here do not represent a complete list. The method used to derive these propositions involved literary research that resulted in a long list. The list evolved over eight months during brainstorming sessions with several cyberspace professionals culminating in this refined list of the ten most salient propositions. There were many ways to present the Ten Propositions Regarding Cyberpower. This work cites each proposition with its supporting material immediately following. The objective of this thesis is to stimulate discussions and help those who do not yet understand or appreciate the nature of cyberpower in modern warfare."--Abstract.
