Joint Concept Note (JCN) 2/18, Information Advantage explains why information advantage must be at the heart of how Defence operates if we are to enable credible military options and political utility, regain and maintain initiative, and achieve influence in a more complex and competitive world.
To regain the initiative and achieve information advantage, we must rapidly up our digital game, fundamentally shift the way we think, act, invest and move with pace through the incremental development of new capabilities.
Defence, as part of a national and allied effort, must become a potent and resilient strategic actor; postured for constant competition both at home and away. This requires a cultural transformation and a conceptual foundation that puts information advantage at the heart of 21st Century deterrence and campaign design.
