Poliheuristic Approach of Hybrid Warfare Actions Based on Information Warfare Canonic Strategies

Abstract

This research aims to provide a poliheuristic approach to the decisions that form the foundation of hybrid war acts which have a strong component of informational war. Through hybrid war, we understand an interstate conflict modality in which the aggressor state denies involvement and uses military engagement means specific to low-intensity or non-military means. This research insists on the involvement of the means of informational warfare within hybrid military means of both military and non-military nature. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of informational war means, which are considered intrinsic to hybrid war means on the various areas of society targeted by the hybrid war. The instrument with which the evaluation is carried out is the poliheuristic decision matrix.
