BARRERO-BARRERO, David  and  ALVAREZ CALDERON, Carlos Enrique. The mutation of war: contemporary threats in the criminal and terrorist multi-domain. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.39, pp.549-570.  Epub July 01, 2022. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1024.

This article aims to identify the security and defense threats in the context of the current criminal and terrorist multi-domain by reviewing the evolution of warfare from the beginning of the 20th century to the present, examining the emergence of new domains: the air domain and the space and cyberspace domains, in addition to the traditional land and maritime domains. Then, a documentary analysis identifies the new threats and defense and security decisions adopted by multilateral organizations in this regard. Finally, it evidences the acceleration of vital processes from the air domain, which has encouraged the mutation of ever greater threats converging in cyberspace today. The challenge is to anticipate, contain, deny, and deter new threats in a complex framework of transformations.

Keywords : air power; cybercrime; defense; international security; terrorism; threat.
