The
Fundamentals of Information Age Warfare
Select
Seminars on the Future of Warfare
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 Incorporated 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.
