Fifth-generation warfare (5GW) is a concept that is characterized by a blurring of lines between war and politics, combatants, and civilians. In 5GW, the actors involved are often diffuse and can involve non-state or transnational actors, making it more challenging to clearly define who or what the enemy is. The aim of 5GW is typically to manipulate the adversary’s perception of reality, using methods to confuse, mislead, and ultimately achieve the strategic objective without the adversary even realizing that they are at war. It could be seen as warfare by stealth and indirection, with a focus on influencing thought and information.
