Crest

The Navy's Information Warfare Community was founded in 2009 in order to integrate Navy's information-based capabilities (Communications, Networks, Intelligence, Oceanography, Meteorology, Cryptology, Electronic Warfare, Cyberspace Operations, and Space) to degrade, deny, deceive, or destroy an enemy's information environment or to enhance the effectiveness of friendly operations.

The Navy has a long and storied history of its Officers, Sailors, and Civilians conducting information warfare in order to effectively deter and combat threats to our nation.
