Abstract:

Scenarios are the foundation of effective planning and training efforts. They serve as a common context for multiple stakeholders in evaluating current capabilities to meet realistic potential future security challenges. This contractor report outlines a new systematic approach to Arctic Defence and Security-related scenario development i.e. context-setting for DRDCs Centre for Operational Research and Analysis CORA. The prescribed outcome is a methodology that delivers a scenario development tool capable of capturing sufficient information to aid the enduser DRDC CORA defence scientists and researchers in their drive to improve and support overall planning efforts. This methodology is supportive of Chief of Force Developments CFD Capability-Based Planning CBP process. This improved process will in turn aid DRDCCORA sponsored strategicoperational level planning, training, and analysis across the Government of Canada GoC. The related Capability Inventory Tool CIT will provide useful reference material to this methodology.
