Sun Tzu indicated information is inherent in warfighting.
Information warfare embodies the impact of information on military operations.
The computer age gives us the capability to absorb, evaluate, use and transmit and exchange large volumes of information at high speeds to multiple recipients simultaneously. Multiple sources of data can be correlated faster than ever. Thus, the value of information to the warfighter has been magnified to a new level. He also used information warfare through his elaborate network emanating from the London Controlling Section, for its time a very complex intelligence and deception operation. It was in this conflict that the computer came of age, and presented us with new challenges, both offensively and defensively, that must be faced in the future.
