This effort is designed to give national security decision-makers the ability to model, simulate, and ultimately anticipate the intentions and behaviors of adversaries using a combination of advanced algorithms and human expertise.

At its core, the program aims to:

Build algorithmic models that "decompose" adversary strategies into elemental behaviors.

Use massive data—signals intelligence, open-source information, even social media—to create high-fidelity "avatars" of enemy decision-makers.

Simulate possible responses to a range of U.S. and allied actions, exploring which ones best deter, incentivize, or nudge adversaries toward preferred outcomes.
