Abstract

Abstract : Information Warfare is a hot topic throughout the Department of Defense today, and a debate rages about what it really is, who the warfighters are, and what its impact will be on warfare in the future. This study defines key concepts of information warfare, examines its offensive and defensive components, and compares information warfare to a previous technological revolution, air warfare. The paper draws on a broad spectrum of resources from military, philosophy, business, and computer-oriented perspectives. It examines opportunities and potential pitfalls in the conduct of offensive and defensive information warfare, the desirability and feasibility of using information warfare weapons and techniques, and concludes with precautionary caveats about vulnerabilities, expectations, and applicability.
