Red Teaming Agility (Briefing Charts)

Abstract

The nexus of red teaming and experimentation in the context of the future operational environment enables the Army to measure the agility of systems, and inform investment in future research, science and technology. The future is dominated not by trends, but by outliers, extreme events that lie outside the realm of regular expectations. Extreme events are unknown and improbably based upon current understanding, and they carry with them a disproportionately higher mission impact. Technology that supports our Warfighters which goes beyond resilient and becomes more capable in environments of incomplete understanding. Such systems that improve under conditions of chaos are termed antifragile . Agility is a measure of antifragile systems. Red Teaming is a function to provide commanders with an independent capability to fully explore alternatives in plans, operations, concepts, organizations and capabilities in the context of the operational environment and from the perspective of our partners, adversaries and others. Agility is required to ensure Force Protection in scenarios in which the adversary seeks to counter our technical capabilities with low cost technologies.
