The Navy Information Warfare Community

...leads the Navy’s effort in Information Operations while maintaining a leading role in the naval and joint intelligence communities through our expertise in Signals Intelligence. Enabling the commander to know the information environment and act within this environment to achieve desired effects is a challenge our community must meet. Forging a closer relationship with Navy operational commanders, educating and training our community to develop greater proficiency and skills, and providing technical systems necessary to defend, sense or attack as required in order to achieve information superiority in the information environment is a major focus of our near term community actions. By strengthening our enterprise within the intelligence community, investing our resources wisely and integrating more fully in operational commanders and planners, the Information Warfare community will become more integral to the Navy’s destiny in the 21^st century.
