The main foreign scientific research directions in the technical means field of information confrontation

Analytical review results of international scientific publications. Modern trends and forms of informational confrontation (IC) brief description. The technical means role in cyber and network-centric operations, creating the information infrastructure. Marked priority fundamental and applied research associated with the forecast strengthening of the role of technical means in the IC related to the intensification of the development of multi-level information networks. Of particular importance to foreign experts give the search and synthesis of new multi-touch and multi-functional materials, devel-opment of terahertz radio range and the formation of redundant autonomous robotic systems, masking and protection of technical means against a wide range of destructive impacts.
