Area of Science:

  • Information Science
  • Military Science

Background:

  • Information science applications in conflict are under-researched despite substantial annual spending.
  • The integration of information into combat has led to the development of 'information warfare'.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the under-treated subject of information and the prosecution of war.
  • To provide an overview of information science applications in military conflict.
  • To introduce the concept of information warfare within the field of information science.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of information science and its intersection with conflict.
  • Conceptual analysis of information's role in warfare.
  • Tutorial-style presentation for workshop participants.

Main Results:

  • Information is a critical and pervasive component of modern warfare.
  • The field of information warfare is an emerging and significant application of information science.
  • There is a substantial, yet poorly understood, financial investment in information and conflict.

Conclusions:

  • Information science plays a vital, though often overlooked, role in military operations.
  • Understanding information warfare is crucial for both information science and military strategy.
  • Further research is needed to fully grasp the implications of information in conflict.
