Information - The King of Modern War! - Press releases - GOV.UK

Artillery is no longer the King of War. Information technology has transformed the modern battlefield at sea, in the air and on land, and it is arguably the new King of War. In April the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) will help to demonstrate this as part of the Royal Navy led Information Warrior exercise. Information Warrior builds on the impressive success of last year's Unmanned Warrior exercise. It focuses is on how information can be used offensively and defensively to give the UK's armed forces a battle winning advantage.
