The task was to develop and assess the feasibility of a use-case for how AI/ML could be used to deliver a step change in tactical, operational and strategic command and control (C2). 

Our approach

To achieve this, we:

• Undertook workshops to understand current bottlenecks within military C2

• Developed a use-case for ML augmentation to wargaming, explaining how previous tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) could be structured and processed for insertion into wargames

• Conducted a horizon scan and feasibility assessment of which near, mid and far-term machine learning models could be used for this application 

Benefits

A presentation was developed for DSTL, which provided multiple recommendations for how machine learning could be used to deliver a step change in how wargames are conducted.
