Information warfare support

The Information Warfare Directorate (IWD, formerly Information Warfare Wing) of the Royal Australian Air Force's Air Warfare Centre (AWC) is the Australian Defence Force's central institution dealing with tactical information warfare.

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.

Units

The Information Warfare Directorate contains the following units:

  • The Joint Electronic Warfare Operational Support Unit (JEWOSU) provides electronic warfare (EW) support to the Australian Navy, Army and Air Force and advice to the Defence Materiel Organisation (DMO) and Defence Intelligence Group.
  • The RAAF Aeronautical Information Service (RAAF AIS) furnishes the Australian Defence Force with aeronautical information to support air operations.
  • No 87 Squadron produces Air Force intelligence targeted to other units in the Air Force.
  • No 462 Squadron exploits and protect against information warfare to support air operations.
