The field of cyber warfare and complex systems is moving towards a more holistic understanding of integrated defensive and offensive technologies. Game theory and AI techniques are being used to design and optimize strategies across multiple levels of cyber warfare, from policy and strategy to operations, tactics, and technical implementations. This approach enables the capture of interdependencies of cyber operations and the paradoxical logic of conflict, where more resources do not always translate into greater advantage. Additionally, research is focusing on the development of executable ontologies, high-level architectural models, and cooperative guidance strategies to address the complexities of modern conflict. Noteworthy papers include: Toward a Multi-Echelon Cyber Warfare Theory, which presents a meta-game-theoretic paradigm for defense and dominance, and Executable Ontologies, which synthesizes event semantics with dataflow architecture. Other notable works include proposals for high-level architectural models and cooperative guidance strategies, such as Nonlinear Cooperative Salvo Guidance with Seeker-Limited Interceptors.
