Test decisions. Explore uncertainty. Shape the future with analytic, repeatable wargaming.
Modern defense environments demand decision-making that is fast, informed, and resilient. Wargaming is one of the most powerful tools for understanding complex scenarios, evaluating courses of action, and exploring the consequences of strategic and operational decisions. JDSAT provides end-to-end wargaming support, from concept development through execution and post-game analytics. Our teams combine operational expertise, data science, software engineering, and decision-support methodologies to create wargames that deliver real insight, not just participation. We support the full spectrum of wargaming needs for DoD and national security clients, including strategic, operational, and tactical games, with options for in-person, virtual, and hybrid execution.
Modern conflict doesn’t wait for consensus, complete information, or perfect conditions. Planners, analysts, and decision-makers need environments that help them rehearse decisions, test assumptions, and expose points of failure before operations are in motion. Yet many organizations still rely on approaches that cannot keep pace with today’s strategic and operational demands.
Most wargames depend on disjointed spreadsheets, slides, and manual adjudication, making it difficult to maintain consistency, scale, or adapt to evolving requirements.
Inconsistent or ephemeral game data prevents meaningful comparison across events, undermines institutional learning, and makes it difficult to drive decisions with confidence.
Modern challenges, AI-enabled adversaries, cognitive conflict, contested logistics, information operations, require multidomain modeling beyond the capability of traditional wargaming methods.
Tactical games often fail to connect to strategic outcomes, and insights generated in schoolhouse or tabletop environments rarely scale to operational or enterprise-level use.
We combine human judgment with digital modeling, simulation, and analytics to explore complex futures with speed and clarity.
We integrate data engineering and computational techniques to ensure adjudication is consistent, defensible, and transparent.

We built a modular, secure, digital wargaming environment to accelerate scenario design, adjudication, and analytics. To learn more click here: gameplan OS
From small facilitated games to enterprise-level digital environments, we build solutions that meet your mission, needs and operational constraints.
Outputs are designed for decision-makers, linking game outcomes directly to planning, capability development, resourcing, and operational execution.
With a highly cleared workforce and deep national security experience, we work every day in the environments where these decisions matter.
In support of a CNO-directed Title 10 wargame, JDSAT embedded directly with the Naval Postgraduate School’s Wargaming Team to deliver critical game research, student facilitation, and real-time analytics for a high-stakes, bilateral exercise involving U.S. and Japanese forces.
Over four months of planning and execution, JDSAT developed structured data collection tools, supported adjudication processes, and managed the RFI/RFS pipeline during live gameplay. We helped prepare over 18 NPS students to serve as adjudicators and delivered post-move analytics and briefing insights to game leadership.
Our work exposed key gaps in game analytics infrastructure and helped define future opportunities for embedded data-driven decision support, reinforcing the need for tools like GamePlanOS.
Supported game execution with >100 players across 7 commands
Built DCAP tools used to assess campaign performance
Delivered near real-time analysis of player decision data
Briefed insights to NPS wargame leadership during execution
Book a briefing, and we’ll show you how JDSAT delivers rigor, speed, and continuity across the full spectrum of modern wargaming, strengthening decisions before they’re tested in the real world.
