Using this principle, all EW measures can be seen as attempts to increase (reduce) bandwidth or Signal to Noise Ratio. Shannon’s Formula for Mutual Information is an extension of this principle to the Information Dialectic in which all Attack and Protect measures are attempts to increase (reduce) Information Bandwidth or Entropy (ambiguity). This characterization of Information Warfare is domain independent and very widely applicable.</p>
