Establishing Cyber Warfare Doctrine

Abstract

Over the past several decades, advances in technology have transformed communications and the ability to acquire, disseminate, and utilize information in a range of environments. As a result, modern armies have advanced their command-and-control capabilities by using a robust information space through network-centric warfare. The ever-increasing convergence of military and commercial operations warrants considering the possibility that communication and information infrastructures are viable components — both as targets and weapons — in times of war.
