What are the basic principles of information warfare?

Information warfare is a form of warfare that makes full use of information resources and relies on information. It refers to a war in which the warring parties take the information army as the main fighting force in all-dimensional space such as land, sea, air, sky and electricity under the condition of highly developed information technology and nuclear deterrence in the information age.

Relying on the networked information system, information warfare uses a large number of conventional weapons and equipment with modern high-tech level, such as information technology, new material technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology and marine technology, and adopts corresponding combat methods to wage wars in local areas with limited targets and means.

The biggest difference between information warfare and previous wars is that the position and function of information have changed. As a new type of resource, information has changed the mode of action of matter and energy, and then changed the winning mechanism of combat, and has indisputably become a new leading resource to produce combat effectiveness.

Basic principles:

System operation is the basic way of information operation. However, no matter which system is used to fight, the following three basic principles are followed: first, concealment; The second is fast; The third is efficiency.

1, concealment: it is to ensure "first enemy discovery, first enemy attack" by stealth, deception and other means;

2. Fast: relying on intelligence surveillance, reconnaissance and rapid strike systems to ensure "destruction upon discovery";

3. High efficiency: it means the joint intensive use of high-energy precision ammunition to ensure the "minimum window" of war in time and space.

They are not only the survival law in the future battlefield, but also the victory law to win the information war, and also the basic criterion to evaluate the level of combat system construction based on information system.
