The Fleeting Nature of Information Superiority

Abstract

The United States of America has seen vast growth in the information element of power. This paper will contrast the profound impacts of information-based warfare and information warfare on modern U.S. war fighting. The idea of information superiority becoming a key enabler for U.S. operational success will be examined. War fighting concepts will be discussed in the context of information superiority, leading to the identification of critical vulnerabilities. Finally, a strategy will be outlined to quantify these vulnerabilities and lead to development of operational war fighting concepts to achieve information superiority verses an information age adversary.
