(1) mainly uses weapons and equipment systems based on information technology;
(2) Take information as the main strategic resource;
(3) Information-centric warfare is the basic operational mode;
(4) To compete for information resources as the battlefield goal;
(5) Take the information armed forces as the main body;
(6) Conduct war guidance based on information military theory.
The biggest difference between information warfare and previous wars is that the position and function of information have changed. As a new type of resource, information has changed the mode of action of matter and energy, and then changed the winning mechanism in combat, and has undoubtedly become a new leading resource to produce combat effectiveness.
Information warfare refers to a war with information technology as the leading factor, information as the main resource, information-based troops as the main body, information-centric warfare as the main mode of operation, competition for information resources as the direct goal and corresponding military theories as the guidance. Information strength includes information superhighway, C4ISR system, precision guided ammunition, space weapons, intelligent forces, high technology, high knowledge and high-quality talents.

How to treat information warfare dialectically;
1. Information warfare is a new type of war that accurately releases war energy in a limited space.
In today's era of political multipolarization, economic globalization and in-depth development of social informatization, peace, development, cooperation and win-win have become an irresistible trend of the times, and human society is increasingly forming a * * * body of destiny.
The forces for maintaining peace are on the rise, the factors restricting war are increasing, and the purpose of war is increasingly restricted by limited political purposes. In the era of mechanized warfare, the "infinite war" or "absolute war" with the goal of completely destroying and destroying the enemy is gradually drifting away, and the limited war confined to a certain geographical area will become the normal state of war.
Second, the vast combat space related to information warfare is unprecedented and will continue to expand.
In fact, the focus of information warfare energy and the reduction of battlefield are based on the unprecedented expansion of related combat space. For example, precision guided weapons, which play an important role in information warfare, are supported by the multi-dimensional information system of land, sea, air and sky power grids. Without the support of multidimensional information system, its hit accuracy and operational effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Third, all-dimensional power and joint victory are the inevitable requirements for winning the future information war.
The limited energy release space and vast related combat space in information warfare require the war subjects to build an integrated joint combat system with seamless connection of combat elements, independent cooperation of combat units and overall linkage of combat forces in a vast space, so as to effectively concentrate the war energy scattered in various spatial dimensions into a limited combat space at a decisive moment.
