Title: COMMAND & CONTROL AS AN OPERATIONAL FUNCTION OF INFORMATION WARFARE IN THE CONTEXT OF "INFORMATION" - THE NATURE OF INFORMATION AND INFORMATION TRANSFER
Abstract: There are established characteristics that bound the conduct of Information Operations (IO), Command and Control (C) and Net-centric Warfare within the Department of Defense (DoD). These characteristics specifically describe the intended information infrastructure as installed aboard aircraft, ships, submarines and other warfare assets, in training facilities, at shore-based sites and deployed with forward units. Over the past few years, military posturing has changed from focusing on static superpower confrontations to regional conflicts involving dynamic alliances. This has naturally led to the need for new military strategies and tactics, which have, in turn, highlighted the need for “information superiority.” At issue is that Information Warfare has taken on a new meaning. The consequences of recent wartime events have led to the need for an integrated information capability that not only meets the needs of command and control in today’s modern warfare tactics but which also can be provided in an affordable and near-term manner.
