Background

In the event of conventional hostilities involving NATO countries, it is likely that adversary Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities will impose onerous constraints on NATO’s military operations. This likelihood of encountering A2/AD has been confirmed in numerous wargames conducted since the 2014 events in Ukraine. At present, wargaming techniques do not support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) in an A2/AD environment, thus inhibiting Decision Makers ability to function.

Objectives

This activity will develop wargaming concepts and techniques, employing open-source data, within NATO representing MDO to address the military problems posed by threat A2/AD capabilities.

Topics

Topics relevant to this activity include: 1. Exploration of present techniques for wargaming MDO in an A2/AD environment, the effects and the underlying data to establish understanding of the present state of the art in this realm. 2. Analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of present techniques for wargaming MDO in an A2/AD environment. 3. Develop approaches to improve the state of the art in wargaming MDO in an A2/AD environment.
