Wargaming & Support for Strategic Analysis (SSA)

Abstract

This program supports the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE) by funding activities that help CAPE to implement warfighting analysis in support of the National Defense Strategy. CAPE accomplishes this by leading studies to support campaign analysis and analytical research across a spectrum of national security issues and concerns. These RDT&E resources support critical studies and analyses to assist senior DoD leaders in optimally balancing the lethality, partnership, and reform levels of effort to carry out the National Defense Strategy. The research agenda focuses on near- to long-term problems identified by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and addresses difficult and complex questions linked to program alternatives for current and future capabilities and forces in order to enhance the senior leadership's deliberations and decision-making. This program provides the scientific and technical engineering services needed for research studies in the development of models and simulations and the evaluation of current analytical tools and scientific methods used to evaluate and assess scenarios and concepts of operations (CONOPS) for a wide range of warfighting environments and scenarios. Deliverables from this program will include reports, briefings, and analyses designed to illuminate findings and assessments to inform Operation Plan development and DoD's approach to concept development, evaluation, and force development.
