port explains in detail Cyberwar, the methods of cyberwar, the people involved in Cyberwar and also details different incidents of Cyberwar.
Cyberwar refers to conducting military operations according to information-related principles. It involves disrupting or destroying information and communications systems. It means trying to know everything about an adversary while keeping the adversary from knowing much about oneself. It means turning the "balance of information and knowledge" in one's favor. It means using knowledge so that less capital and labor may have to be expended.
The form of warfare may involve diverse technologies notably for command and control, for intelligence collection, processing ad distribution, for tactical communications, positioning, identifying fried or foe and for smart weapons system. It may also involve electronically blinding, jamming, deceiving, overloading and intruding into an adversary's information and communications circuits.
Cyberwar has broad ramifications for military organization and doctrine. Moving to networked structures may require some decentralization of command and control. But decentralization is only part of the picture. The new technology may also provide greater "top sight" a central understanding of the big picture that enhances the management of complexity. This pairing of decentralization with top sight brings the real gains.
Cyberwar may also imply developing new doctrines about the kinds of forces needed where and how to deploy them, and how to strike the enemy. How and where to position what kinds of computers, sensors, networks and databases may become as important as the question once was for the deployment of the bombers and their support functions.
