The Battlefield of Tomorrow

Most of CNA’s extensive analytical output on cyber, space, AI, and autonomy is not for public release. The sampling below hints at a broader array of work helping prepare government and military leaders for tomorrow’s battlefield.

MERLIN: Wargaming Cyber Operations

Developed for the Air Force Research Laboratory, the Merlin wargaming module helps cyberspace domain planners and physical domain planners communicate and coordinate.

Space Force Support

CNA was selected by the Deputy Secretary of Defense to develop a congressionally mandated plan for the stand-up of a Space Force. Since that first project, CNA has continued to provide analytical support for the establishment of the United States Space Force.

Cyber Research Program

The Cyber Research Program provides objective analysis grounded in years of close support to cyber exercises and real-world operations. Issues we have helped address for cyber commanders range from cyber workforce organization and management to cyber tactics and operations.

Addressing AI's Operational Challenges: Putting the Human in Human-Machine Teaming

Our analysts examined three key questions about the skills, personnel, and organizational structures required to effectively deploy unmanned and autonomous systems. This work draws upon CNA expertise in both autonomous systems and force readiness.

Russia’s Approach to Cyber Warfare

Russia’s view of cyber warfare is very different from that of the United States and its allies. CNA strategic analysts explore the significance of Moscow’s embrace of “hacktivists,” its perception of a constant struggle within the “information space,” and other issues.
