Description:
In FY03, the Air Force anticipates receiving $2 million from the Cost of War Transfer Account. These funds are not included in the baseline.
Funding would be used to procure that include, but are not limited to: four servers and rack; 50 workstations; three web servers; three disk
array back-ups; and a top secret video teleconference capability. The systems will set up a multi-classification level training environment for
Information Warfare (IW) planners and operators.
U.S. military forces operate in an information age where the need for precise, instantaneous intelligence is increasing and expanding across the
entire spectrum of military operations. However, this increasing technical sophistication leads to a dependency on technology which, in turn,
may represent potentially crippling vulnerabilities. The Air Force (AF) addresses this vulnerability through Information Operations (IO). IO
includes those actions taken to gain, exploit, defend and attack information and information systems and includes two facets,
information-in-warfare and information warfare. IW consists of actions conducted to attack an adversary’s information and information systems
while defending one’s own.
Information warfare includes the integrated application of Electronic Warfare (EW), Psychological Operations (PSYOP), military deception,
physical attack, computer network attack, counterintelligence, counterdeception, computer network defense, counterpropaganda, information
assurance, and operations security (OPSEC). The Air Intelligence Agency (AIA), Air Force Information Warfare Center (AFIWC), 67th
Information Operations Wing, and Joint Information Operations Center (JIOC), all located in San Antonio, TX, are responsible for IW and
Command and Control Warfare (C2W) operations supporting joint, air component, and/or national objectives. Procurement funds in this
program provide the equipment (computer, communications, and unique intelligence and analysis systems) vital to accomplishing and
supporting those organizations' IW and C2W missions. Elements of the program are addressed individually below.
Items requested in FY03 are identified on the following P-40a and are representative of items to be procured. Items procured during execution
