Battlespace

Battlespace or battle-space is a term used to signify a military theatre of operations, in which multiple domains are contested at the same time. Domains where military competition take place include the air, land, sea, outer space, cyberspace and the information environment. The battlespace concept integrates the environment (to include weather and terrain), timeframe and other factors that must be understood to successfully apply combat power, protect the force, or complete the mission. Other relevant factors include enemy and friendly armed forces, the civilian population, infrastructure, socio-political factors and the electromagnetic spectrum within the operational areas and areas of interest.
