introduction:with increasing threats of weapons of mass destruction (wmd) in future war especially biological threats against our country necessity of using novel technologies in crisis management against new warfare’s is very important. passive defense as a peaceful and preventive strategy without any warfare is able to not only monitor the prospect of new warfare specially biological warfare ...

* Colonel Deepak Sharma is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) considers active offence to be the most important requirement for information warfare to destroy or disrupt an adversary's capability to receive and process data. Launched mainly by remote combat and covert methods, the PLA could employ information warfar...

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...

This paper develops a theoretical model of the internal processes of the Orientation step of Boyd's OODA loop model. The Orientation step is important from an Information Warfare perspective as it is where the decision-maker combines their existing knowledge with new information. Any new information is a potential target for manipulation by Information Warfare attacks. The operation of the two ...

The last couple of decades have seen a colossal change in terms of the influence that computers have on the battle field, to an extent that defence pundits claim it to be a dawn of a new era in warfare. The use of computers and information in defence has manifested into various force multipliers such as Information Operations, C4I2SR Systems, Network Centric Warfare, to the extent that commenta...

he Warfare Analysis Laboratory Exercise (WALEX) process is a methodology that has evolved over many years for conducting open seminar war games in the Warfare Analysis Laboratory. Developed to analyze problems in naval and Joint warfare, the WALEX process has proven to be a highly adaptive and flexible approach to addressing a variety of complex, collaborative efforts, especially Joint warfare....

With recognition of warfare as a complex adaptive system, a number of AgentBased Distillation Systems (ABDs) for warfare have been developed and adopted to study the dynamics of warfare and gain insight into military operations. These systems have facilitated the analysis and understanding of combat. However, these systems are unable to meet the new needs of defence, arising from current practi...
