Plan X is an ambitious scheme, designed by DARPA, to allow all branches of the US military to fight back against electronic attacks. Now DARPA has announced the plan, which aims to allow soldiers to enter a visualized version of cyberspace to repel enemy attacks, will start being rolled out to the Department of Defense and US militarys Cyber Command in October 2017. Plan Xs program manager, Frank Pound, says the plan aims to get rid of the keyboard — rather than requiring computer-literate white hat hackers, DARPAs initiative is looking for a way to allow standard soldiers to defend against computer assaults by using technologies with intuitive interfaces to simplify the process.
