The shifting sands of geopolitics demand a new approach to national security. As the post-Cold War era gives way to a new multi-polar world order, America faces complex threats from ascendant rivals and regressive regimes alike.
Amidst this uncertainty, static frameworks no longer suffice. We need dynamic tools to assess the strategies of state and non-state actors in real time. Only then can we make informed decisions to safeguard our interests.
That's why we built the Virtual International System (VIS) - a first-of-its-kind simulated environment mirroring the intricacies of global politics and economics. Drawing on cross-disciplinary expertise, VIS models the behaviors of individuals, groups, institutions and nations using advanced agent-based technologies.
VIS runs vast numbers of scenarios to stress-test policy options. It spots interdependencies and cascading effects that linear analysis would miss. By representing diverse viewpoints - not just our own - it avoids biased assumptions. And it explains outcomes in a transparent, rigorous way.
This virtual laboratory equips officials with a holistic picture of potential futures. They can game out alternatives, weigh trade-offs, and prepare contingency plans. VIS enhances foresight, without forfeiting oversight.
