Fighting in 5 Dimensions
Attacked from Cyberspace
BattlespaceThe area, dimension or environment determined
by the maximum capabilities to acquire and engage an adversary
1413
5 Dimensional Battlespace
• Space – (The First Three) Length, Width & Height or Depth Maneuver elements are physical Maneuver in space is measured in distance
and the control of key terrain is critical
12
5 Dimensional Battlespace• Time – a “nonspace continuum” where events
occur in an irreversible succession from the past through the future Maneuver elements are intangible and exist
only as a mental image Maneuver in time is measured in speed and
the exploitation of opportunities is critical
11
5 Dimensional Battlespace• Cyberspace – a notional “information
space” where people interact with “human space” and machinesManeuver elements are the “fruits” of
devices designed for the interactionManeuver in cyberspace is measured in
knowledge and the ability to acquire, deprive and manipulate information is critical
10
Humanspace vs. Cyberspace• Humanspace – where humans live and interact
Has physical dimensions
Comprised of Space and Time
9
Humanspace vs. Cyberspace• Cyberspace – a notional information space
where humans interact, not only with one another, but with machines Intangible and limitless Comprised of Cyberspace Where weaker adversaries can seek refuge

Human Sensing Dimensional Barrier
• Separates humanspace from cyberspace• Anything that prevents an adversary from being
acquired or engaged May be physical
■Walls, fences, bushes May be intangible
■Darkness, fog or smoke May be notional
■Anonymity

the predominant influence

To fight in 5-D Battlespace we must eitherenter cyberspace or force the adversary into humanspace!

We’re not going to be first and we’re not alone!4
What Will it Take?• See in the dark• Track in the electromagnetic spectrum• See through the walls• Remote listening capabilities• Shut down cell phones• Open electronic garage doors• Open/Lock electronic car doors• Cyber-Command Post
Increase situational awareness for Incident Commanders Create a common operational picture for EOC Create a virtual reach back for subject matter experts Create a feed back loop Changes intelligence from a “push” system to a “push-pull”

Dominating Cyberspace• Recognizing the existence and implications of
cyberspace becomes a tactical imperative• Retooling, not rearming will be required• Rules of engagement will be based on privacy issues
rather than force issues• Tactics in cyberspace will be focused on gaining
understanding and knowledge. Strategies will be focused on separating the relevant from
the volume.• Cherished practices will be challenged, especially the
C2 function

So what are the implications?
