Decision Superiority
Daniel Merl | 22-SI-001
Executive Summary
We will develop an artificial-intelligence-powered decision support technology for strategic wargaming through high-performance-computing-enabled conflict simulation, intelligence-informed adversary modeling, and optimal control algorithms. Through careful experimentation utilizing realistic conflict simulations, we will develop an important new computational capability for generating creative solutions to multi-domain deterrence scenarios.
