Space, Time and Force: Relationships in Cyber Space
Abstract
The Joint Chiefs of Staff envision information superiority, attained through the conduct of Information Operations (I0), as key in obtaining full spectrum dominance in future conflicts. Computer Network Attack (CNA) and Defense (CND) are relatively new I0 weapons that the operational commander will soon employ along with his other, more traditional, weapons to gain information superiority and maintain freedom of action while limiting that of his enemy. He will also have to defend against the same types of weapons wielded by his enemy, for the depth and breadth of networked computer system in the U.S. military makes him vulnerable to attack. Planning to execute, and defend against, a CNA is a task not addressed by current planning methodologies and procedures It will still require the planner to balance the operational factors of space, time, and force in relation to his objective, at times much like he would for a physical attack and at others in very new and interesting ways.
