Summary Distributed Lethality (DL) is the overarching end state gained by increasing the lethality (offensive and defensive) of individual units, and geographically dispersing these forces. The DL Task Force seeks to better understand the strengths and vulnerabilities of the DL concept though an Analytic Agenda informed through wargaming at NPS. Wargames will be created and conducted by NPS student through the OA4604 Wargaming Applications course to assist with the maturation of the DL concept to include the investigation of the impact of new and emerging technologies as well as the incorporation of joint and international assets as potential DL concept enablers. Leveraging our defense analysis and operations research department faculty and students, this proposal will execute one or more analytic wargames in FY 17 to explore the DL concept to include concepts for employment, capabilities and responsibilities in given scenarios. These scenarios will seek to utilize the unique attributes of our NPS students to include all services, curricula, and nationalities.
