CSIAC collects and publishes articles related to our technical focus areas on the web to share with the DoD community.
Military commanders have used information throughout warfare to influence, mislead, disrupt, or otherwise affect the enemy’s decision-making and capabilities. This article discusses the history of information operations (IOs) and enduring importance of incorporating actions in the information environment in military strategy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) represent an increasingly exciting field of computer science. A term originally coined by John McCarthy in 1956,1 AI is becoming increasingly pervasive in today’s world.

With the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity, this article investigates the economic principles of substitution and scale’s elasticity to evaluate their impact on the return on security investment. Recognizing the potential of AI technologies to substitute human labor and traditional cybersecurity mechanisms and the significance of cost ramifications of scaling AI solutions within cybersecurity frameworks, the study theoretically contributes to understanding the financial and operational dynamics of AI in cybersecurity. It provides valuable insights for cybersecurity practitioners in public and private sectors. Through this analysis, ways in which AI technologies can redefine economic outcomes in cybersecurity efforts are highlighted. Strategic recommendations are also offered for practitioners to optimize the economic efficiency and effectiveness of AI in cybersecurity, emphasizing a dynamic, nuanced approach to AI investment and deployment.
When performing defense system analysis with simulation models, a great deal of time and effort is expended creating representations of real-world scenarios in U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) simulation tools. However, once these models have been created and validated, analysts rarely retrieve all the knowledge and insights that the models may yield and are limited to simple explorations because they do not have the time and training to perform more complex analyses manually. Additionally, they do not have software integrated with their simulation tools to automate these analyses and retrieve all the knowledge and insights available from their models.
