
The rapid global spread of information technology is accelerating
the speed of warfare. America’s Navy has long enjoyed
information superiority because of its early adoption of high-tech
data links, worldwide communication networks, and advanced
reconnaissance. The landscape is changing quickly and the Navy’s
advantage is eroding as more nations, transnational criminal
organizations and non-state actors become more sophisticated in
their use if computing and network systems. In fact, many are
actively exploiting our networks and developing the means to
challenge our technological edge.

The strategy focuses on the three fundamental
Information Dominance capabilities:



Assured Command and Control
Battle Space Awareness
Integrated Cyber Operations.



Goal 1: Robust Communications for Navy
Command and Control
Goal 2: Persistent, Predictive Battle space

Goal 3: Integrated Combat Information


The backbone of this cyber capability is a motivated
work force of uniformed teammates who are the
foundation of the Navy's efforts in the cyber domain.
To defeat the enemies of our country and allies we
must understand, analyze, and exploit the
environment in which the enemy operates. The need
for information dominance encompasses air, sea and
land theatres and all threats associated - to include
cyberspace.
