Competition in the Information Environment (CIE)
Abstract
The Competition in the Information Environment (CIE) program aims to develop technologies to enable the U.S. to conduct information operations (IO) that achieve positive outcomes against the full range of IO-enabled competitors and adversaries. The expanding importance of information has allowed state and non-state actors to influence global audiences and advance their objectives through the use of manipulated information and IO. In addition, peer adversary nation-states are making concerted efforts to corrupt U.S. scientific and technical data in order to degrade the U.S. innovation ecosystem and to steal U.S. intellectual property in order to achieve commercial and economic advantage. CIE will advance U.S. IO capabilities by a combined information technology and social science approach that spans data analysis, natural language understanding, multimedia analysis, information integrity assurance, and social modeling and simulation. CIE will seek to advance capabilities for estimating the integrity and veracity of disseminated scientific and technical information, anticipating the spread of information across geo-social boundaries, and reducing the harmful influence of misinformation and disinformation on global populations. The technologies to be developed in CIE are essential for the U.S. to compete successfully against adversaries who are making increasing use of IO.
