Fighting with the Internet

Rob Salter, CEng, FIET, BAE Systems Engineering Fellow, BAE Systems

Information is the key battle winning capability of the modern warfighter. The ability to know more about the enemy than he knows about you is essential for the deployment of modern weapon systems whether in the Land, Sea or Air.

Over the last decade the commercial sector has embraced the information provided by the always connected internet and the military are looking for a similar capability. However, deployment of a military internet brings a series of challenges ranging from the harsh environment to deliberate attempts by the enemy to invade and disrupt communications.

This lecture will discuss how the capabilities of the internet are being delivered to the military and the measures that have to be taken in this special environment.
