This article tackles the hidden, yet fundamental, technological change taking place at the present time and leads to the unification of our digital and physical worlds in minute detail on both the engineering and operational levels. It also discusses how such a technological transformation/uniqueness, represented in the cyber-physical systems, will have many effects on the US intelligence and military ecosystem, especially with regard to dealing with adversaries. This is through getting to know - in depth and in detail - these systems, their characteristics, developments and effects, and identifying the nature of their relationship with the Internet of Things, in addition to presenting some network visualizations of such systems, and other subtle details.
