Information Operation Proving Ground and Its System Architecture

With the rapid development and mih'tary application of IT and infonnation weapon, a new Reform of Military Affairs ( RMA) has happened in the world. Testing method and mode of proving ground would change, too. No matter where domestic or overseas, infonnation operation simulation is an inaugurating work. But the testing method and mode of proving ground of PLA can' t be seasoned with the demand of new RMA. Based upon the Information War, the paper discussed the necessity of information operation proving ground (IOPG) construction; analyzed the function, main characteristics of IOPG, the relation and difference between IOPG and EW proving ground ; presented the generic principle and general assuming of IOPG; suggested the constitution and system architecture of IOPG; set forth the testing mode for information operation weapon testing.
