Under the guidance of General Robert Brewster, Cyber Research Systems continued the work of the late Miles Dyson using the backup files that were stored off-site. After the attack on Cyberdyne Systems by the Connors and the death of Miles Dyson, the United States Air Force contracted with Cyber Research Systems, who purchase patents from Cyberdyne Systems, in an attempt to keep its developments secret and prevent further terrorist attacks and protect computers from virus attacks.

Unfortunately, Judgment Day is inevitable in a different timeline it was merely delayed. Skynet Systems Network as shown in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Terminator 2: Judgment Day (alternative ending) Rise of the Machines timeline This altered the flow of future events and resulted in a timeline where Skynet was never created. However, the Resistance sent a T-800 as a protector for the young John Connor back through time. This was what has come to be known as ' Judgment Day'. Russia returned fire and three-billion human lives ended in the nuclear holocaust. In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated by firing American nuclear missiles at their target sites in Russia. The system then became self-aware at 2:14 am Eastern Time on August 29th, 1997. Human decisions were removed from strategic defense. The system originally went online on August 4, 1997. Upon its creation, Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate. Afterward, the Stealth Bombers flew with perfect operational records, and eventually the Skynet Funding Bill was passed. All Stealth Bombers were upgraded with Cyberdyne Systems computers, becoming fully unmanned. Within three years, Cyberdyne Systems became the largest supplier of military computer systems. Judgment Day timeline īy reverse-engineering the CPU and the wreckage of the Original Terminator, Miles Dyson, director of Special Projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation, created a revolutionary type of microprocessor, a neural net processor that learns and adapts like a human, in 1994. However, Skynet's many network complexes continued to fight the war, as they did not need a leader to function and thus could not surrender. The Resistance believed that this would cause the entire defense network to collapse into chaos without a leader. In the Tempest timeline, Skynet's master control has been destroyed in 2029. It managed to research time travel and send a Terminator to 1984 to annihilate Sarah Connor before she could give birth to John. Because annihilating Connor then, to shatter the Resistance, wouldn't have made a difference, Skynet decided there was another way to win: by annihilating Connor in the past. Eventually, the Resistance managed to break through its defense grid.

Humans rose up against Skynet under John Connor's leadership. Skynet started a nuclear war to bring the human race to extinction and sent survivors to camps to be annihilated. It grew more intelligent and saw all humans as a threat. Skynet is an artificial intelligence created by Cyberdyne Systems for SAC-NORAD.

Skynet has control over everything which contains a Cyberdyne Systems CPU. It pools data from battle units, develops tactics and coordinates attacks. It is the controlling force behind all of the battle units. Skynet is the world's first Automated Defense Network, processing information at ninety teraflops. 5 Skynet's motivation to launch attack in various timelines.4.4 The Sarah Connor Chronicles timeline.3 Mainframe and Physical Embodiment of Skynet.
