Abstract
Study of recorded history shows that Information Warfare (IW) has been employed by opposing nations in some form or the other. The use or inability to use IW has at times determined the success or failure in a particular operation. IW will emerge as the dominant factor in future conflicts. It can support overall government strategy, policy during peacetime, crisis, conflict and post conflict. This paper focuses on the IW concepts and capabilities of USA, Russia, China and Pakistan. This study is essential in order to carry out an appraisal of our own capability development in this field.
