Arbiter Framework and the Adaptive Strike Chain

Adib Einayat

Arbiter is a multi-domain, detail intrinsic, progressive objectiveoriented framework designed to aid you in operational planning for strategic success. It introduces the adaptive strike chain and it is a part of the nightshade advanced polymorphic electronic defense and warfare doctrine. In a brief definition, nightshade consists of a variety of frameworks with an active focus on electronic warfare and implementing it in the five domains of modern warfare, perhaps the most prominent of all is the special focus on cyber defense and security while keeping one primary objective above all which is mastering and dominating the electromagnetic spectrum for long term strategic supremacy and domination. The arbiter framework and the adaptive strike chain are just a small part of this vast doctrine, which covers both offensive and defensive strategies for covert and overt military, private and civilian operations. Nightshade argues that supremacy in modern warfare can only be achieved by mastering and dominating the EMS on current and future battlefields. In this paper, we will discuss conventional deterrence and its possible usage scenarios as well as briefly introduce electronic deterrence and its characteristics, benefits, and possible usage scenarios, we will construct a clear definition for classical and modern electronic warfare, The role of intelligence and principles of war and ultimately, we will introduce the arbiter framework and dissect the adaptive strike chain and go over a couple of strategies that can be used within the framework for maximum effect.
