Information Technology—Tool or Target?
Until now, advances in information technology have benefited the United States by reinforcing its military and economic preeminence. But the nation's heavy reliance on advanced information systems may leave it vulnerable to catastrophic disruption.
In Strategic Appraisal: The Changing Role of Information in Warfare, editors Zalmay Khalilzad and John White bring together the work of 20 experts in the fields of information technology and defense policy to tackle these issues. This frank and comprehensive book explores the potential vulnerabilities and opportunities for U.S. military forces and society. The third book in RAND's "Strategic Appraisal" series, The Changing Role of Information in Warfare explains how information technology is at once an advantage and an Achilles' heel.
You'll discover: how advanced surveillance technologies can expose the disposition of enemy forces; how Global Positioning System signals may influence a new generation of munitions; which critical infrastructures could be at risk of information attack. The authors also offer an indepth discussion of the three basic strategies for defense against information warfare and reveal important lessons on the impact of information and communications technology on society.
