- W234038671 abstract "The revolutions in information technologies (IT) and knowledgebased systems hold almost unimagined promise for the army that grasps them. IT will be a breakthrough in warfighting as important as the stirrup, gunpowder or the tank. Discriminating sensors providing information on enemy and friendly forces will link to computers that display relevant information in real time in digestible bites. Using IT more than explosive weapons, forces will maneuver against and defeat their enemies more quickly and with less risk. Targeting the enemy's fighting forces and, more decisively, his command and control facilities, will provide an unprecedented ability to defeat him. IT revolutions have happened at least twice before: in the early 19th century with the Popham Signal System and in the middle 20th century with the radar and communications system used during the Battle of Britain. The Popham System provided a huge advantage in naval warfare by allowing fleets to change formations under the admiral's command during a battle. The system was a factor in winning the Battle of Trafalgar when orders were signaled to the British fleet after the ships captains were on board. The extensive radar and communications system used to direct interceptors in the Battle of Britain allowed the British commander to know, within limits, the size of the attacking German force. He then tailored the defensive force's size to avoid wasting assets. Both of these systems used available information-rich technologies that were adapted to cause a step-function increase in combat effectiveness. The tools to provide this increase in fighting power are available off the shelf today, as is the technical knowledge base to use them.2 We do not need new Star Wars-type technologies.3 What is missing is the key to unlocking their potential. The British navy in 1814 and air corps in 1940 had the keys they needed. They developed a doctrine to leverage information's potential. Integrating IT is not like issuing a new truck. To fully realize IT's power, the Army must change the way it operates. This means a changed doctrine. To determine the required changes, it is important to understand the nature of IT's effects on warfare. Purpose and means. The plethora of articles on IT in Military Rview and other military journals makes it unnecessary to list the many IT systems available to the Army. This article outlines their effects on future combat to identify the doctrinal changes required to positively leverage their impact. Although it is difficult to separate doctrinal changes from the other training, leadership, organization and materiel domains, a complete review of all IT effects would take volumes. This article's thrust is to analyze the doctrinal changes needed to effectively use IT. IT's battlefield effects. Through better use of information, IT allows us to overmatch the enemy. To make IT effective, two preliminary battles must precede combat between main forces: a battle for electromagnetic spectrum supremacy and a battle for intelligence.4 They are both in progress now. Every day, our national assets monitor and map potential adversaries' critical information nodes and frequencies, as well as troop movements and other intent indicators. When hostilities break out, the battles become offensive to gain electromagnetic spectrum dominance so the enemy cannot use his sensors and communication systems. This lets us collect more detailed intelligence on the enemy while forcing him to use 18th-century intelligence and communications. Using radiation-seeking missiles, the multiple-launch rocket system, aircraft fires and direct action by Special Operations Forces, as coalition forces did against the Iraqis in Operation Desert Storm, armies will attempt to find and neutralize enemy command, control communications and intelligence (CXI) systems.5 Software bugs introduced through unauthorized electronic entry (hacking) into enemy systems, high-powered radiation, micromachines or direct action will cripple enemy C4I systems. …" @default.
