TITLE: Information Engineering: The Foundation of Information Warfare. If information is governed by physical laws, information engineering may be possible. If information engineering is possible, it forms the basis for developing information weapons. Thus information engineering is the foundation of information warfare.. This paper establishes the theoretical linkage between the potentially ne...

Information warfare has surfaced as an emerging concept that affects not only military institutions but ordinary organisations as well. Information warfare in itself consists of various components ranging from its electronic and psychological aspects to its network enabled capabilities and functionality (network warfare). Various computer and information security practices form part of network ...

Nuclear, biological and chemical warfare have in recent times been responsible for an increasing number of otherwise rare dermatoses. Many nations are now maintaining overt and clandestine stockpiles of such arsenal. With increasing terrorist threats, these agents of mass destruction pose a risk to the civilian population. Nuclear and chemical attacks manifest immediately while biological attac...

The multi-agent paradigm has become a useful tool in solving military problems. However, one of key challenges in multi-agent model for distributed warfare could be how to describe the microcosmic tactical warfare platforms actions. In this paper, a platform-level distributed warfare model based on multi-agent system framework is designed to tackle this challenge. The basic ideas include: Estab...

Modern land commanders are increasingly dependent on information-age systems comprising communications and information systems, networks and sensors. While these systems have the potential to produce significant changes in the conduct and character of war, their reliance on the electromagnetic spectrum also has the potential to increase their vulnerability to interdiction by electronic-warfare ...

As Defense agencies and services expand their reliance on computer networks, risk to information availability and integrity increases. It is no longer adequate to rely solely on the now traditional defense-in-depth strategy. We must recognize that we are engaged in a form of warfare, cyber warfare, and deploy our resources using the strategy and tactics of warfare. Most Defense organizations ha...

In this paper the author introduces the common and different features of signals intelligence and electronic warfare support measures, as well as interprets the content of intelligence and combat information. The paper shows the role of low probability of intercept transmission modes in the modern tactical communications. It focuses on the challenges to signals intelligence and electronic warfa...

The authors sum up the more capital questions of the asymmetric warfare and its psychological factors. They give overview about the military-scientific basis of the asymmetric warfare and its threats; interpretation of asymmetry in the activities of national security; Systematic elements of strategic asymmetry; coherence of strategy reacting to asymmetric threats with other strategies and final...

Recent years have seen an explosion of multidisciplinary interest in ancient human warfare. Theory has emphasized a key role for kin-selected cooperation, modulated by sex-specific demography, in explaining intergroup violence. However, conflicts of interest remain a relatively underexplored factor in the evolutionary-ecological study of warfare, with little consideration given to which parties...
