ASTRID - AST070 Defence Strategy Under Deep Uncertainty

The purpose of this task is to improve MOD's ability to make strategic decisions that are robust to future uncertainty. To achieve this, the two specific objectives of the task are:

• Demonstrate the application of robust analysis and decision techniques to one or two relevant Defence policy, strategy or capability development problems.

• Increase the knowledge and skills of Dstl (and MOD) personnel in applying robust approaches in order to become an 'intelligent customer' and begin to develop the capability and capacity to deliver such novel analytical techniques 'in-house'.
