Our Research Approach
WE TRY TO KILL
OUR OWN IDEAS.
We purposedly bifurcate our approach to allow for multiple avenues of inputs (reducing echo chamber and biases), all subject to the approval of the requesting organization. Our process leverages a network of external subject matter experts through interviews and surveys to draw in expertise outside of our team for comparison to internal analyses. At the core of our methodology is internal concept red teaming across three domains: UxS, PSYOP/EW, and Enterprise/OCM.
Internal Red Teaming & Concept Competitions
We conduct internal red teaming and concept development exercises to explore emerging threats, unconventional tactics, and technology-driven opportunities. These competitions blend veteran field experience with analytical rigor, generating fresh perspectives on how unmanned systems, influence use-cases, and non-kinetic tools can reshape future operations.
AI-Supported
Modeling & Simulation
We can apply artificial intelligence tools to build and conceptually model complex operational environments, simulate influence dynamics, and test UxS-based concepts in virtual settings. Our modeling approach allows rapid iteration of ideas, linking empirical insights with real-world mission variables to inform strategy, capability design, and policy development.
SME Network
Round-tables & TTX
Our Subject Matter Expert (SME) network connects operators, technologists, and strategists through structured roundtables and tabletop exercises (TTX). These sessions accelerate cross-domain learning, validate emerging concepts, and strengthen collaboration between defense practitioners and private-sector innovators.
