Assessment of Future Operations with a 30-50 Year Horizon.

A dialogue continues in the American military as both leaders and followers debate the changes that may occur to military operations in the Information Age. Network Centric Warfare, Effects-Based Operations, and Maneuver Warfare have emerged as Information Age operational concepts. Opinions about these concepts, pro and con, abound. Disappointingly, these opinions are often not grounded in theory or fact. Meanwhile, allies and potential foes are developing their own strategies for Information Age advantage.

Alidade Consulting is one of the few firms with relevant experience validating future warfare concepts. Alidade has developed a comprehensive framework for understanding Information Age Warfare that provides clients with tools to demystify the topics and confirm or de-bunk visions of future warfare. In addition, the consultancy provides specific, programmatic guidance about the future of naval warfare.
