Disruption through Intelligent Strategies, Counter Options, and Resilient Defenses (DISCORD)

The Disruption through Intelligent Strategies, Counter Options, and Resilient Defenses (DISCORD) program aims to develop an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-native approach for rapid generation of tactical options from both live sensor data and high-fidelity simulation. The goal is to provide commanders with a portfolio of diverse strategies that can pivot dynamically in response to evolving conditions. The program is divided into three technical areas: Asymmetric Advantage Engine, Human-Machine Teaming, and Live Adaptation Experimentation. The program schedule includes various milestones and evaluations, with a final graduation exercise at the end of the 24-month program. Key aspects of the program include: • Developing an AI-native approach for rapid generation of tactical options • Providing commanders with a portfolio of diverse strategies • Focusing on three technical areas: Asymmetric Advantage Engine, Human-Machine Teaming, and Live Adaptation Experimentation • Including various milestones and evaluations in the program schedule • Conducting a final graduation exercise at the end of the 24-month program
