Enhancing Information Warfare Education Through the Use of Virtual and Isolated Networks

摘要

The Information Analysis and Research (IWAR) laboratory at the United States Military Academy (USMA) has proven to be an exceptional and necessary resource for educating our cadets and faculty studying information warfare. The laboratory has also been successful in motivating the need for continued education and training in this area on a much larger scope that touches the highest levels of our military and government. This paper justifies why information warfare laboratories are necessary, explains the laboratories design and organization, and describes the phenomenon that is occurring as a result of the IWAR laboratory.
