The Evolution of Competitive Advantage in the Cyber Domain

Main Article Content
Abstract
The cyber domain is a critical operational arena that integrates military activities occurring across other domains, as these operations rely heavily on information and communication technology infrastructures within cyberspace. Such infrastructures enable information exchange, command and control, and the attainment of information superiority to support decision-making at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. It may therefore be argued that achieving advantage in the cyber domain can have significant implications for national security, both in peacetime and during armed conflict. This can be observed in the Russia–Ukraine war, in which cyber operations demonstrated prolonged and continuous development even prior to the physical invasion and the contest for control over land and maritime spaces.
This article analyzes and synthesizes research findings and capability-development efforts related to cyber warfare and proposes strategic recommendations to enhance the Royal Thai Navy’s cyber capabilities. These recommendations aim to strengthen readiness and ensure alignment with the rapidly evolving landscape of cyber threats, which continue to advance at an accelerating pace.
