Merging Electronic, Cybernetic and Kinetic Warfare in Naval Systems

This paper presents a taxonomy that encompasses new classes of attack that exploit the cyber domain together with the electronic and kinetic domains. The analysis of these possible attacks in the scope of the naval systems indicates the need for policies capable of promoting the cybersecurity of such systems. In this sense, to mitigate the analyzed attacks, this paper discusses the development of an international policy for homologation and certification of cyber products used in naval systems.
