In 1999, DARPA sponsored an SBIR study to develop the conceptual basis for simulations of Information Warfare (IW) to be used in support of training events. The results of this study produced a conceptual model to provide the framework for future IW and Information Operations (IO) models and simulations, and described the need for, and design of, an IO Federation of Models. It also discussed how to provide multilevel security during a training exercise. This conceptual model has been used both by GDES and other contractors to guide the development of future IO/IW models, and has gained international interest in future work.
