Network Warfare. It's Not Just for Hackers Anymore.

Abstract

Network warfare (Netwar) is the latest tool in the Information warfare toolbox. Where C2W targets the enemy's military electronic spectrum and provides defense against enemy C2W efforts, Netwar targets enemy computer networks that support both military and civilian functions (such as communications, logistics, transportation, and other computer controlled networks) in order to provide the operational commander with an additional tool to either prevent or win conflicts. Netwar also has defensive features, helping the operational commander defend against the inevitable enemy attack on friendly computer network systems. (KAR) P. 2
