Summary/Abstract: The advanced information communication networks are particularly important for the military, creating global and national information infrastructure, the military and the defence information infrastructure. These interconnected systems enable the rapid exchange of information throughout the world. Yet, these technological advances seem to be a lethal two-edge sword for the military system. On the one hand, a user may employ offensive information operations to attack the command and control elements of an adversary, while, on the other hand, the adversary may attack first or have highly developed defensive measures. To succeed in defence missions, the modern military must develop technology and systems for increasing the lethality of the information technology advances in offensive information operations, striving to diminish the lethality of potential adversaries through protective defensive information operations.
