Intelligent Biology: Cognitive Defense of the Joint Force in a Digitizing World

Abstract

How can we defend the humans in the Joint Force - and its key support networks - from adversarial information operations in our digitizing world? Service personnel, their families and friends are human. Adversaries and other destabilizing forces threaten to sow discord and disruption amongst these humans, in order to degrade collective capabilities. Such threats can harness the powerful new digital technologies immersing our lives. Effectively defending the Joint Force's humans from information threats is crucial to protect its competitive capabilities: in our current era of Gray Zone competition, during escalation scenarios, and in war.
