Relying on the networked information system, information warfare uses a large number of conventional weapons and equipment with modern high-tech level, such as information technology, new material technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology and marine technology, and adopts corresponding combat methods to carry out wars in local areas with limited targets and means.
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.

Basic principles:
System operation is the basic way of information operation. However, no matter which system is used to fight, the following three basic principles are followed: first, concealment; The second is fast; The third is efficiency.
1, concealment: it is to ensure "first enemy discovery, first enemy attack" by stealth, deception and other means;
2. Quick: relying on intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance and quick strike system to ensure "destruction upon discovery";
3. High efficiency: it means the joint intensive use of high-energy precision ammunition to ensure the "minimum window" of war in time and space.
They are not only the survival law of the future battlefield, but also the victory law of winning the information war, and they are also the basic standards for evaluating the construction level of the combat system based on information systems.
