Our researchers work closely with the British Army and its allies and partners to evaluate how they can gain advantages over the next decade.

We study and review adversary capabilities, as well as training and operations, to understand how current competitors and potential enemies may pose challenges in the future. We support land forces with wargaming and simulation, often through the provision of expertise on opposition forces.
