Submarines and Information Operations

Abstract

Information Operations and Information Warfare are efforts to exploit a resource that has long been essential for military operations: information. Information has become a new medium for conflict, a potent weapon and a lucrative target. The manned, mobile, combatant platform can conduct Information Operations. The nuclear-powered attack submarine, and its inherent virtues of stealth, mobility, endurance, and power intensity, gives unique opportunities for employment. As the U.S. Navy intends to embed IO capabilities in the fleet, sailors, not scholars, need to begin to examine and exploit the field.
