Abstract

This chapter examines the connection between the global flow of information and future wars, claiming that the same developments and technologies that enable global information flows among citizens can also be used for conducting wars. This notion of open flows of information in the context of a nation's wars seems counterintuitive for various reasons. For instance, with the existence of interoperable, interconnected networks, the transmission of the battlefield's operational and supply needs to the suppliers and vice versa will be a difficult task. The chapter also raises critical issues that emerge from such open net-centric military structures and compares them to net-related security, privacy, and information assurance issues that exist in the civilian and commercial world today.
