Teach better decision-making in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) multidomain environments. b. Enhance decision-making in multidomain environments without relying on the repetition characterising the military decision-making model and annual exercise cycle (predictable and forecast scenarios). c. Enhance metacognition of decision-making and awareness of decision-making ability amongst our personnel relative to an international database of security professionals. d. Achieve better understanding of decision-making as a core military skill essential to achieving decision advantage in multidomain environments and decisive advantage in response to operational complexity. 9. This should be achieved through a bespoke education and training package that balances theory and practice, uses an evidence-based and well-validated approach to decision-making and performance amongst emergency responders and security forces and includes immersive scenarios for each domain (Air, Land, Sea, Cyber and Space) using a methodology that can be delivered at scale once proof of concept has been achieved. Deliverables must be compatible with MOD delivery platforms and software, during delivery and at the conclusion of the contract.
