CUBA: CYBERNETIC THREAT

 

 

Manuel Cereijo

 

 

During the last few weeks there have been thousands of cyber attacks to computer and computer networks in the United States-government and private entities. The United States, due to its dependence on computers, is very vulnerable to such attacks. A cyber attack on the United States could be more devastating economically than a nuclear bomb and could cause massive deaths as well. It could crush our country and the world economy, which depends upon the United States as the world’s leading economy. If they take us down, they cripple everybody.

 

In a partially declassified CIA document , it is written how Cuba started in 1991 the study of how to interfere in computer networks. This initial project had a modest budget of $50,000 US dollars.

 

The Soviet Union maintained in Cuba the Lourdes electronic espionage base, to which Cuba did not have direct access. On 1994, Cuba and Russia agreed the construction of a similar base for Cuba. It was built in Bejucal, south of La Habana, and became operational on December 1997, at a cost of $750 million US dollars. It is known as the Bejucal Base. It is to note the importance of cybernetics for Cuba, going in only 6 years from a $50,000 budget to $750 million. Lourdes was dismantled in 2002.

 

This base has the capacity of  listening to telecommunications in the United States, as well as to interfere in computer networks, read/change electronic files, and more important, to change output commands of computers use to control infrastructure facilities.

 

On 1999, the PRC and Cuba signed an agreement that allows Chinese personnel to collaborate in the Bejucal base, as well as in several other facilities that Cuba has. This agreement gave place to what is called Operation Titan. Since 2002, Cuba uses PRC’s satellites in the operation of the Bejucal base.

 

Since 2003, the Cuban government has emphasized the training of talented young Cuban engineers in computation and cybernetics, and selected ones have been placed in key positions in all cyber facilities in Cuba. The government of Cuba has declared publicly that computers have replaced canons in the modern asymmetric war.

 

Below, we will briefly described the main cyber installations in Cuba.

 

  a.. Bejucal base, Habana Province. 20 square miles area. Cost $750 million dollars.  1,100 engineers, technicians and staff work here. It has three satellite/antennas groups. Capabilities of voice recognition. Computer networks can be interfere from the Base, as well as satellite telecommunications.
 Research and development of asymmetric electronic weapons. Two HPCs or high Speed and operation computers.DGI is in charge of the Base.

 

  a.. The electronic complex, located in Vedado,  La Habana, in Paseo Street, between  11 and 13 Streets. Cost $75 million dollars. In here is located the offices of the Electronic Warfare Batallion. Main task: interfereing telecommunications. 
  b.. The Cojimar electronic complex, east of La Habana. Cost $40 million dollars. 
  c.. The Wajay farm, near Bejucal.Also known as the Antenna farm. Hundreds of especial antennas are located here. Cost $15 million dollars. 
  d.. The antenna farm of Santiago de Cuba, eastern part of Cuba. Similar to the one in Wajay. Cost $15 million dollars. 
  e.. Establishment in 2003 of the University of Informative Sciences, UCI, in the place where the Russian Lourdes base had been. It has an enrollment of 10,000 selected students in a five year program.
 

During the Summer of 2004, Cuba interfered satellite communications from the United States to the people of Iran. This was done from the Bejucal base. This operation confirms the high technology of Cuba as well as the close ties with Iran. Cuba is the only country classified as terrorist nation, that has such high cyber infrastructure.

 

We are at War for the survival of our principles, and our system of justice and freedom. The society of the United States-government, press, and people, as well as our civic and judicial institutions, must understand the importance of this War, asymmetric, and now with cybernetic as a main factor, and the threat that Cuba represents.
