In order to address China and Russia’s pacing and acute threats, the Navy is focused on waging information warfare with assured command and control, live, virtual and constructive training and strategic data to gain the advantage.
Capabilities like artificial intelligence, ubiquitous sensors, uncrewed and autonomous systems and long-range precision weapons are “proliferating globally,” and as a result the Navy operates in a battlespace that continues to grow in lethality and complexity, Vice Adm. Kelly Aeschbach, commander of the Naval Information Forces, said at the recent Sea-Air-Space conference.
In today’s modern battlespace, information warfare is “the integrator” of all aspects of Navy warfighting, especially in a “very decisive” decade, she said.
“We have to be prepared to operate in contested environments. … The battle for information superiority is just as crucial and sometimes more important than traditional warfare,” she said. “Our ability to do everything in the information space is a force multiplier, and it enables us to make informed decisions and outmaneuver our adversaries. In today’s fight and in the future fight, information warfare is more critical than ever.”
