PROJECT:Deterrence Analysis and Planning Support performs two core functions which are Adversary Decision Calculus Planning Analysis and Course of Action (COA) Analysis and Wargaming.
The outputs of these two functions are required for informed, reasoned, and adaptive U.S. strategic deterrence planning and operations and to identify future deterrence capability requirements in a complex, uncertain, and rapidly changing security environment.
DESCRIPTION: Analysts provide advisory and assistance services (A&AS) to maintain Deterrence Analysis and Planning Support, refine Deterrence Analysis Methodology, and continue to develop the Global Analysis and Research capabilities. Additionally, the contractor shall provide deterrence analysis support to USSTRATCOM experimentation and war gaming efforts.
