Abstract
The proliferation of information technology has led to the establishment of a cyber-domain. This domain is one in which, equally to the physical and cognitive domains, warfare is being conducted.
This thesis examines how the Danish army, at the tactical level, should encompass this challenge. The overall conclusion is that the ability to conduct Cyber Network Attack-, Defense- and Exploitation all should be present.
The analysis is comparative between Denmark and USA, given the only existing tactical doctrine originates from USA. The thesis analyses the nation’s doctrine, organization and technology given the framework of each nation’s political, ideological and economical situation.
The analysis generally concludes that much of the American developed capability may be applied directly into the Danish army. However, USA has a significantly different definition on cyberwarfare than that of Denmark. Hence, the thesis concludes that any implantation of American doctrine must encompass Electronic Warfare and Spectrum Management, capabilities that are current in the Danish army.
Having concluded that the ability to wage cyberwar should be present on the tactical level, the thesis suggests, that further analysis should be given to the subject of whether we are facing a Military Revolution as a consequence of cyberwarfare.
