Decision-Making Under Attack: Information Warfare

Abstract

In order to meet new warfare challenges, decision-makers must learn from past military experience and adapt new, practical models to predict Information Warfare (IW) attacks or events. This study reviews critical aspects of the decision-making process and techniques used to alter decision-making, explores how business process reengineering (BPR) methods may be utilized to optimize IW operations, and provides a premise for future testing. It demonstrates the need for those who conduct IW and information operations to incorporate a basic understanding of perceptual processing and adversarial decision-making processes into future IW operational planning.
