The Information Warfare Directorate (IWD, formerly Information Warfare Wing) of the Royal Australian Air Force's Air Warfare Centre (AWC)[1] is the Australian Defence Force's central institution dealing with tactical information warfare.[2]
Although under the command of the Air Force, the IWD draws personnel from both the Australian Army and Navy. In turn the IWD develops and manages information warfare capabilities for land and maritime theatres in addition to aerospace. Within the Department of Defence there is also an Information Warfare Division (IWD), formed in 2017.
The Information Warfare Directorate is home to the Royal Australian Air Force's Intelligence, Cyber and Electronic Warfare support functions. It comprises four units (Information Warfare Capability, C4 and Battle Management Capability, Capability Support Directorate and the Joint Cyber Unit[3]), each with specialists. The Information Warfare Directorate aims to provide asymmetric advantages to the Australian Defence Force over potential adversaries.
IWD personnel are posted to all major RAAF bases the Defence Complex in Canberra. IWD also has personnel deployed on exercises and operations, including the Middle East, on an almost continual basis.[4]
