Wargaming & Support for Strategic Analysis

Abstract

A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification This program supports the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE). It funds activities that help CAPE to implement the vision of the Deputy Secretary of Defense to reinvigorate wargaming in the Department of Defense. CAPE will accomplish this by leading wargaming activities; developing and managing the Wargaming Portal, and supporting the design, execution, and analysis of wargames. This program provides for analytical research across a spectrum of issues and concerns. The research agenda is focused 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 from wargaming excursions. Outcomes include the compilation and analysis of wargaming data in the Wargaming Portal and support for data use by wargaming participants.
