Asymmetric

A military situation in which two belligerents of unequal strength interact and take advantage of their respective strengths and weaknesses. This interaction often involves strategies and tactics outside conventional warfare.

Biological

Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of any organism (bacteria, virus or other disease-causing organism) or toxin found in nature, as a weapon of war. It is meant to incapacitate or kill enemy combatants. It may also be defined as the employment of biological agents to produce casualties in man or animals and damage to plants or material; or defense against such employment.

Chemical

Chemical warfare is warfare (associated military operations) using the toxic properties of chemical substances to incapacitate or kill enemy combatants.

Electronic

Electronic warfare refers to mainly non-violent practices used chiefly to support other areas of warfare. The term was originally coined to encompass the interception and decoding of enemy radio communications, and the communications technologies and cryptography methods used to counter such interception, as well as jamming, radio stealth, and other related areas. Over the later years of the 20th century and early years of the 21st century, this has expanded to cover a wide range of areas: the use of, detection of and avoidance of detection by radar and sonar systems, computer hacking, etc.

Fourth generation

Fourth generation warfare (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state but rather a violent ideological network. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and safety.

While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgencies and the Indian Wars are examples of pre-modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non-state side trying to implement their own government or reestablish an old government over the

 Asymmetric 

 A military situation in which two combatant of unequal strength interact and take advantage of their respective military capability and weaknesses. This interaction often involve strategies and tactic outside conventional warfare. 

 Biological 

 Biological warfare, also known as source warfare, is the use of any organism (bacteria, virus or other disease - causing organism) or toxin found in nature, as a weapon of war. It is meant to incapacitate or kill enemy combatants. It may also be defined as the employment of biological agents to produce casualties in man or animal and price to plants or fabric; or refutation against such use. 

 Chemical 

 Chemical warfare is warfare (associated military operations) using the toxic properties of chemical substances to incapacitate or stamp out enemy combatants. 

 Electronic 

 Electronic warfare refers to mainly non - violent practice used chiefly to support other areas of warfare. The term was primitively coined to encompass the interception and decoding of enemy radio communications, and the communication technologies and cryptography methods used to anticipate such interception, as well as jamming, radio receiver stealth, and other related areas. Over the later years of the 20th hundred and early years of the 21st century, this has expanded to cover a across-the-board range of area: the use of, signal detection of and avoidance of detection by radar and sonar systems, computer hacking, etc. 

 Fourth genesis 

 Fourth generation war (4GW) is a concept defined by William S. Lind and expanded by Thomas X. Hammes, used to describe the decentralized nature of modern warfare. The simplest definition includes any war in which one of the major participants is not a state of matter but rather a violent ideological net. Fourth Generation wars are characterized by a blurring of the lines between war and politics, combatants and civilians, conflicts and peace, battlefields and condom. 

 While this term is similar to terrorism and asymmetric warfare, it is much narrower. Classical insurgency and the Indian Wars are examples of pre - modern wars, not 4GW. Fourth generation warfare usually has the insurgency group or non - state side try on to implement their own government or reestablish an erstwhile politics over the
