"Pentagon Wants Cyberwar Range to 'Replicate Human Behavior and Frailties'" from Wired reports that the Pentagon has been ordered to design a "Second Life" type military environment that includes all the multiple aspects of warfare.
Congress has ordered the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, to put together a National Cyber Range, as part of a massive (and massively secret) $30 billion, government-wide effort better prep for battle online. The project is now considered a top priority for the Agency. And to make sure the facility is as true-to-life as possible, Darpa wants the contractors running the Range to be able to "replicate realistic human behavior on nodes," a request for proposals, released today, reveals.
