Abstract

In today’s world, the combination of propaganda, disinformation, psychological pressure, and attacks on information and communication systems pose a danger no less than conventional armament. Productive scenarios for counteracting hybrid threats are based on the use of modern technologies of strategic communications, management of subjects of military conflicts, and information processing.

This article is aimed at analyzing the basic concepts of modern hybrid warfare and finding place, purpose, objectives, and features of strategic communications.

An integrated use of strategic communications and reflexive control technologies is proposed to develop hybrid warfare scenarios.
