2020 Information Warfare Essay Contest
This contest is open to all contributors, active-duty, military, reservists, veterans, and civilians. Generally the winners have had a solid understanding of the nature of modern conflict, but really any thinkers/writers should look over the contest and contribute an entry if they have something to say.
More on the contest:
The Nation’s adversaries and competitors are proving to be formidable in the digital battlespace—using online platforms, social media, malicious code, disinformation, and cyberattacks to undermine elections, steal intellectual property, spy on governments, sow discord, and weaken alliances. Participants can choose to answer one of the following questions or write on another IW topic that interests them.
- How might the opening salvoes of the next war begin in the information space, and what should be done now to defend against those attacks? How might our adversaries be planning to win without fighting by using IW?
- What specific information warfare technologies (offensive and defensive) should the U.S. military be investing in now?
- How can the military recruit, educate, train, and retain the information warriors it needs to prevail in the information environment?
- Are there any recent case studies (that went well or poorly) that can provide lessons to guide strategy, operations, tactics, or acquisition over the next 3 to 5 years?
- How will electronic warfare and emissions control play a role in the future of naval warfare?
